Yes, a "Dig all," a "dig rock only," and a "dig ore only" designation would be useful.

The OP's suggestion was a bit interesting, except that I WANT my dwarfs to move my stone ASAP (well... in my rooms, usually, but I don't care when they get to my tunnels). I just turn off the stone hauling jobs for my more important dwarfs, like my miners, my woodcutters, and my mason/mechanic/carpenters, to name a few, so tunnel-hauling doesn't fill up the job list.

Build a large tower, the base of which should be next to a river or lake. Not neccesarily a wide tower, but it must reach 1-3 z-levels above the entrance to the Kobold caves. Set up a pumping system (but don't start it) and build a narrow psuedo-channel over to the Kobold entrance. Start the pumping (if you must use a lake, create a REDUNDANTLY-FLOODGATED U-Bend). Watch as the Tower of Death rains its ungodly havoc on the poor Kobolds.

Oh, and if you still want to use your sissy magma, yes, any magma will do, should you be able to find it.

Try This One. Created on Vista, so there's a small chance it won't work, unfortunately. Try it and see. Aside from the island, there's loads of sedimentary stone, and an aqufifer beneath that. Odd. Nothing much else that could be considered interesting, though. Also, the lake freezes in winter, so I'd suggest building a large wall around it before the goblins come.
