  just to be clear, i wasn't trying to give methodical directions for
*how* to add a board, just a summary of what the *end result* might be
if someone wanted to see them.  so, in a sense, i'm not trying to
duplicate the instructions for how to add a board, just let people see
what it ultimately represents.

  i just threw this together since *i* was curious about what ended up
in the code base to support a single board and i figured others might
want a summary, that's all.
