I added it from the hacked version of uisp I received some time ago.
For the STK200 (and probably STK300 too), use -dstk200 as before, I don't
know really where this different "Atmel AVR ISP" came from ;)

Yes.  It works for downloading (device -> file) too.  (The download/upload
names are a bit confusing, read/write would be better I think.)

It may be auto-selected if the name encoded in the header of the file
(ASCII converted to hex) is one of flash/eeprom/fuse.  AVA did this,
binutils encodes the name of the output file instead (like a.out.srec)
so it is best to use --segment to be sure.
