Hi Jason,

We used to make protypes using wirewrap - I still have a hand tool here.
My first home made computer was wirewrapped too.

I'd say yes to both questions, at least for experimenting and testing.
The hand wrap tool had a wire stripper in the middle which would be
a little difficult to use.

I don't know how long 'regular length' 0.1" header are, you need at
least about 3 - 4mm to wrap (a little over 1/8" I guess)
