If you've got a couple of years, drill a bunch of deep holes in the
top surface of the stump (an 18" long "airplane drill bit" is great
for this) then go find some rotten wood someplace.  Put the rotten
wood in a blender with some water, and mix it up well.  Pour the
resulting concoction into the holes.  If you live in a dry area, tarp
the stump to keep the moisture high.  After 18 months to 2 yrs, you
can kick most stumps apart.

I suppose you might be able to speed this up a bit by adding judicious
amounts of high N fertilizer-- however, the neighborhood dogs always
did this for us.
