I just stumbled across this cable kit that would allow you to open your door even if the battery is dead. It's a little pricey, but I see that it has a nice cable loom that goes in the door jam.

For posterity, I downloaded Tom's photos from Facebook and posted them here on FTE (who knows what Facebook will do in the future?). Tom, I hope you don't mind... your solution is pretty cool and I didn't want it to get lost.
