I see that people are saying that the RTCK line for JTAG debugging 
isn't used.  Does this mean that I can use this as a GPIO even when 
using the JTAG debugger?

Not really.

While using the JTAG debugger this pin is controlled by the JTAG 
interface. Also in the LPC2103 which was the device in discussion, the 
RTCK is not multiplexed with GPIO at all.

Alas,

it is just the other way around.
The RTCK line is not used by a lot of the JTAG pods around, the ARM7 
TDMI-S does use the RTCK.
Look at page 5-3 (105) in the ARM datasheet 
(http://www.arm.com/pdfs/DDI0084F_7TDMIS_R3.pdf)
There is a TCK synchronizer in between the 'real' JTAG signals going 
into the processor core and the pins
on the LPC2xxx, this circuit makes sure that the JTAG signals are 
synchronized to the processor clock.

Any JTAG debugger pod used should make sure that TDO is read with RTCK 
used as a clock,
otherwise it may read wrong data.

On the LPC2104/5/6 the RTCK is a seperate pin, not shared with a GPIO 
pin and on the LPC213/2/4/6/8
there is only one bit in PINSEL2 to determine if P31-26 are used as JTAG 
or GPIO lines.
So even if your JTAG debug pod does not use the RTCK there is no way to 
get the extra GPIO pin.

The RTCK line is used for debugging on the LPC21xx. We have support for 
this in CrossConnect and I believe that Amontec have support for it. The 
wiggler doesn't support it and some boards with LPC2xxx don't have it 
wired up so all debug solutions must be able to live without it.
