Just one more thing I forgot to mention: the testsuite requires avrtest 
to load elf files. As a quick hack, avrtest is calling avr-objcopy to 
convert the elf to a binary file and load it. This works under Linux, 
but I don't know if it might cause problems under Cygwin or MinGW.

I plan to improve avrtest to load elf files directly, at least to load 
the .text and .data sections. If it could also load the debug 
information and use the symbol names to provide extra debug info, it 
would be even better.

Now it is _really_ time to go to sleep... ;)
