Out of  curiosity, has anybody used the old-fashioned eyelet approach?   
Definitely not worthwhile for production, but it would be very handy for  DIY.<<
I do that where the holes are "under" IC-sockets, etc., and MUST be almost  
PTH.  For others, "out in the open" I use bits of wire, soldered on both  sides.
 
Use NEW, brightly-tinned eyelets, and sweat-solder them to the TOP pad  
before populating board!
