I guess nobody went further down the "veneer" route.
It is called edgebanding. There is an adhesive on the back of a roll of this stuff, and you can put it on with an iron. Here is one place that carries it:

There are special edgebanding irons, but you can use a regular clothes iron too. Use aluminum foil between your clothes iron and the edgebanding so that you don't get the adhesive on the iron.
Rocker has the wood banding, but you can also get white or probably black. Then again, you could just get the wood banding in then paint it.

I did..it sucks.. :(
see my white cabinet..?
thats edge banding right there..its "OK" but if you are gonna be using any artwork/contact paper+plexi glass then you want to wrap the paper(artwork) around and edge banding isnt for panels with artwork that wraps around.
However,Its not "TOTALLY" out of opition. :)
Its all right..just not as "ARCADISH" or "COOL" as t-molding.
Its allright for cabinets.. ;)

Thanks for all the input, I knew the information was out there, just had trouble finding it as I didn't know the exact name of the materials, sorry guys, didn't mean to start a little feud on this one.

I have sucsessfully cut the slot for T-Molding with just a hand saw. you can also use a table saw if you have a thin enough blade.
