How do I drive stepper motors from the Raspberry Pi?

One thing that has taken a little bit of research has been to work out how I can drive two stepper motors from the Raspberry Pi. The picoborg looked promising initially, although it only drives a single motor.

The option that I've gone for is the Pridopia 2803 2 Relay and Step Motor Board with two 28BYJ-48 stepper motors. I've ordered them and are now expecting delivery on them. The board should arrive this week, as for the motors... they're coming from China - arrival dates are sometime between next week and the 9th January. Still £2.22 (each) from China is astonishingly cheap.
