Thats what I am using, LM317 with SOT23 footprint. What makes me sad is that 
both regulators (one for 3,3 and one for 1,8V) plus the resistors ocuppies 
more space on the board than the LPC itself. So, LPC is a really small 
microcontroller (looking for a ARM based wich has only 48 pins, the 
concorrents are 100 or 144 pins, the smallers!) and with a very small 
footprint (soldering 20 mils pins with soldering iron its not easy, I am 
doing, but its not funny. Its interesting that a 25 mils chip is much more 
easy to solder and to design the board) but the power circuit is bigger...
