The JTAG 10-pin header is there - it works great.  Is there something
missing?  Or do you mean incorporating JTAGICE functionality directly
on the board so that a JTAGICE is not needed?  That'd be interesting.
Alternatively, it might be more cost effective to use one of Graham's
ICE-Cubes from ECROS Technology for only around $40 - which would
allow you to add JTAG-ICE functionality to any board with a 10-pin
JTAG header.  I've tested Graham's ICE-Cube and it works as advertised
- and it's hard to beat the price.
