Nice collection! I could not avoid noticing a pdf on small board Go
which is a bit dated :)
People who are interested in this sort of thing might like to read my
more recent paper on solving rectangular boards (
http://erikvanderwerf.tengen.nl/pubdown/SolvingGoICGA2009.pdf ). I
think the solutions are much more interesting than for 5x5 at least in
part because several human solutions turned out to be wrong (e.g. 3x7,
4x6, 4x7, 5x6).

Best wishes for the new year to all
