That would be nice.  Please do.  I agree on making a consistent header.  I 
was thinking the same set as you on a two row header with 8 pins to allow 
for keying.  That leaves one unused pin (in addition to the keying 
location).  The two rows allows standard ribbon cable and 8 pins is still 
smaller than most rs232 level convertors.

Have you tried the newsgroups on Cadsoft's site?  There is also a file 
there that provides 'improved' autorouter parameters for 3.5. I haven't 
heard whether they were used for V4 or not.  They are better but they take 
more passes.  I haven't tried them on V4 myself.
