 Somebody (maybe Augat) makes small single-pin sockets for insertion into PC
boards. These will work well for (appropriately sized) solid wire jumpers.
Another alternative is to buy some sockets like the Augat DIP sockets which
have the pin completely enclosed in a metal tube (unlike the cheapies which
are just folded springs) and carefully remove the pin inserts from the plastic
body.

 Either can be soldered to the pin of the IC if you are quick and careful.
