Thanks for the advice Paul, and yes, there are plenty of options.  Got a lot
of good public and private messages regarding this issue, and have been
steered in several good directions  :).  The external "power good" signal can
be easily simulated with a capacitor, diode, resister, and an NPN transistor,
done that, so that would be cake. :)

Works for me, thanks for your suggestions :)
