Has anyone ever bothered to machine custom click-stop plates to
install in the shifter so that one can match different brands of
derailleur abd cassettes?

Modolo made/makes shifters that will work with shimano and campy 7/8/9
speed systems.

Quick & dirty: calculated values on the right

Can't vouch for the accuracy but would be interested to hear from
anyone who has measured anything different.

Exactly. Further, if the OP is talking about Shimano STI levers,
forgetaboutit! Its nearly impossible to take one apart and put it
back together.

Alternatively, if tweaking the cable routing doesn't work, i.e.,
hubbub solution, there is always the jtek shiftmate gizmos that appear
to work well:

Alot simplier and probably cheaper than trying to "machine custom
click-stop plates ."

I don't think so. But in many of the most relevant cases there are
alternate cable mounting tricks at the RD you can use to tweak the
cable/derailer movement ratios to make things work perfectly.
