Please, drop it. Or, make it totally complete and worthwhile to use. 

There's enough traffic on AVRFreaks about this issue. The incomplete 
file just adds confusion. (Why is it incomplete? What about timer1 
and timer2? Will it ever be added to the library? Do I have to 
support it myself?) I'm sure that there would be people interested in 
a timer module. If AVRGCC doesn't provide it, they'll have to roll 
their own anyway. If AVRGCC does provide it, then it will save 
programming time.

I have some code that might be a starting point for a timer module. 
But only if there's any interest. (I've RFC'd a couple things before 
with no takers).
