yeah, I ran across that page also. I don't think I'll use an input cap as the battery is essentially a cap itself and the output cap I'll just remove the one they did and replace it with a big tantalum cap so that the adj pin sees a relatively stable V. I can't tell what they said to short, but I'll see when I get the modules. They are .82" x .82" x .27" so should be pretty easy to fit anywhere.
LM2596s are great devices and I actually spotted some in Fry's today off the shelf, but for the cost of these modules on ebay, we can't go wrong.
As soon as I get mine in I'll have a few freebies to give out(for shipping cost only) for folks to play with, no way I'm using 10 of them lol. I already got shipment notification so we'll see how long it takes. When they come in I'll beat them up on the bench to see what they can do.
