Hi address@hidden,

I don't think that this is giving a great benefit. If you are using 
some frontend, a batchfile for building or a Makefile you can insert 
the options there (once per project).

If you use the commandline, you can use the history (at least under 
Linux). This works fine for me.

If you always use the same programmer you could also use an "alias" or 
a batch-script to call avrdude with the "-c" parameter.

This also allows you to specify a programmer other than default, since 
all but the last one are (almost) ignored ;-)

Perhaps, we should add the alias-trick to the manual.
