I've seen a product called "Surf Boards" that have a variety of SMT pads and
pins on .100" centers that might be just what you're looking for. I think I
recall someone else on the list (JH?) saying that they had used them before.
Check this link

and click on "Standard Products." This will give you lots of info, where to
find distributors (might even be available from Digi-Key or Mouser, I don't
know), and even a "How to" section with some soldering hints.

Happy Hacking!
