I've begun work on something for someone just like you, because that was me two years ago. http://www.pond-crosser.com/. It's not much at the moment but I hope it becomes a useful resource. You might find the following interesting:
Irish Working Holiday Program
Dutch American Friendship Treaty
German Blue Card (Need a job in Germany, but those are supposed to be easy to get and the Blue Card gives you freedom to live and work in the EU after only three years).
Also, it's true you can bounce between Schengen and non-Schengen Europe, but I wouldn't assume immigration officers will always be delighted with you. Drop me a line at the email address in my profile if you want to talk more.
