The biggest problem is getting the internal connectors and cables to fit 
comfortably.  If I get or build an analog board I'll probably have to 
rearrange things.  Worst case scenario would involve desoldering 
connectors from the Spartan board and soldering cables directly on.  But 
for now it all fits pretty nicely.
