Unconfirmed transactions from 0.8.1 w/ low txn fee: what are my options?

I've issued some small-size transactions with ~0.00001 to 0.00003 txfees that haven't been confirmed after a few hours... the later ones depend on the earlier ones.

Other than waiting and hoping my client rebroadcasts to a willing miner...

(1) Will the pywallet forget-txid approach described by...

...still work in the 0.8.1 refactoring? If yes, I'd locally-forget all the unconfirmed transactions, then reissue with higher tx fees (a double-spend-for-good).

(2) Is it worth adding another dependent transaction at the end, with an extra-large tx fee, in hope some miner does a value-of-all-together calc and pulls the earlier txns in with the last? (Any miners doing that, including dependent chains of txns 5+ long?)

Anything else to try? I'm flailing here!
