Maybe I'm missing the point, but Maxim (http://www.maxim-ic.com) has 
switch debouncer ICs... Haven't tried them out, though, because when 
I sent for some samples, they gave me all SMT on accident (...or WAS 
it?...) If you decide to use then for some reason, could you tell me 
how well they work?...

You could also ust use a magnet and hall effect sensor to make a 
bouncless switch... I've never fully understood why technology wishes 
to comphensate for its problems instead of just correcting them...
