Alternatively, you can just mess around with the spacers (if you have enough room on the axle and between the dropouts) to recentre or offset the wheel to improve chainline.
We just did the same here at work with an old freecycled frame and rear wheel, except we're running it as a suicide hub with a fixed sprocket. No redishing necessary.
Having said that, this our work hack, which has so far cost us zero pence, and will be used to go down to Condor or meetings without worrying too much if it gets nicked (though flourescent orange and yellow is not that nickable). I wouldn't personally do it on a bike I wanted to use for any significant mileage.
