Well, the idea was to just add the dip header, it doesn't waste much space
because the bt module "floats" above the pcb (see the pics on the ebay
link).
Well, I think that it would be a good idea to bring out at least some of
the unused pins to a header, to allow hacking and customization, it would
add a lot of value for cheap. Like in the ovsm! :)
