2.1mm plug connector...easy way to attach to PCB?

I bought a bunch of 2.1mm barrel plug jacks for some projects- the ones with the 'clip' type prongs on them...is there an 'easy' way to attach them to PCBs? So far I've just been using a dremmel for the width of the 'clip' part...(they are HERE: http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&productId=119476)



Just curious...

    Drill holes for each of the tabs in your circuit board and solder the leads to the circuits.
