Well, as that's about the only on-AVR chip supported by the STK500
(for hysterical raisins), if someone was really eager to contribute
the code, I think I'd accept it.  There's a good guarantee this
doesn't proliferate anyway. ;-)

(I guess adding Xmega support is overall more work than adding AT89S5x
support...)

Hey, the irony detector here just triggered.  Was that your posting
that might have triggered it, Eric? :-)
