I read somewhere (maybe on the Gumstix site) that the easiest way to set
them up is to recompile the bootloader, and have it set them up the way
you want them. The Beagleboard expansion cards have a ROM that tells the
bootloader how to set things up, which is nice if you're planning to
swap out the expansion cards often (as opposed to setting it up for one
particular use).

I see it as "less stuff that I won't use anyway, and more of what I
actually want".

A breakout board would be better, but nobody seems to make one.
