Ya, I was thinking about my definition was too restrictive.  I'm curious about
the use of Jigs in sets in general.  If the pieces used to make the jig are
reused in some other way in the set I'd still consider it a jig worth hearing
about.

It's still cool to know the difference though.  For example in the Death Star
the jig pieces serve no other purpose then to create the jig.  It facinated me
that Lego included extra parts for the express purpose of helping you build the
set.
