I've uploaded the schematics for GorF, and explained some of the extra bits on there ;-

I've also designed and ordered a prototype PCB for GorF ;-

As much as I like Eagle, I find the the 100mm by 80mm board size limit really annoying. And yes there's the "non profit" version which gives 160mm by 100mm and whilst that would be fine for GorF the other projects I'm working on require a board length of around 240mm by 100mm. and I certainly can't afford the 1200UKP for the full version of the software. It's a crying shame there's nothing in between the 160mm and 'anysize' limits, in terms of cost (The standard version only offers 160mm by 100mm board size limit).
So this board is a little on the 'cramped' side of life. Can anyone recommend any other PCB tools that aren't silly money or have silly board size limits?

Well, I avoid Eagle simply because I find it incredibly obnoxious to use. I prefer to use NI's Multisim package, but it's not cheap. It's installed on all the lab computers at college. As for free stuff, here's one called "TARGET 3001!", along with a list of a bunch of other layout software:
