It certainly seems way more trouble than it's worth: as soon as the
on board mic is used the jack detection will get confused as it'll see
it.  Of course, the internal mic is actually plugged in to a header on
the main board so it may be absent too (I believe a lot of units were
shipped without a case...) which means detecting the internal mic might
actually be useful :)

I think that's the best approach.  If someone wants to do mic detection
they can always add it later.
