[Open-graphics] Howard's comment on the General Purpose I/O Connector

[Timothy Normand Miller]

I think the $30 might have been a "top end" estimate on the part AND
total fab cost.  You have to overshoot for a variety of reasons.
Given the prices you mention, I don't see why we couldn't toss one
into the box.  But then I don't know all there is to know, so don't
take this as any sort of promise.  :)
