Thanks very much.  There are a few issues with it, in case anyone else
wants to use it.  The more detailed doc is:

http://www.molex.com/pdm_docs/sd/716612068_sd.pdf

1)  The pin numbering is wrong.  The pin numbering is based on the
fingers in the connector running from 1..n/2 across the top and 
n/2+1..n on the bottom, so the pin marked "18" is actually "2" and
the pin marked "2" is actually "3" and so on.

2)  The mounting pins are plastic, so the holes should be unplated,
I would think.  I don't know if there's a standard for this in pcb
elements.

3)  I'm going to add an outline to the silk layer so I don't do something
silly like put a resistor under the edge or recess it too far from the
edge of the board!

Thanks again to Steve for putting me on the right track.
