Someone (like Ritchey) should market a headset with the cable guide integrated into the bottom cup, as shortening the length of the brake cable is the simplest way to eliminate judder. But with cantis slowly disappearing from cross, it might be too much of a niche product.
Radical toe-in isn't usually needed, just enough that the front of the brake block hits the rim first. A credit card at the back of the brake block is a good way of getting the right angle.
Edit: it's a bit easier to hold in place than a 5p piece.
