Details:

As it was discussed earlier in the mailing list and is imho a good idea, I put
it here so it will not be forgoten. 
from http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/avrdude-dev/2011-08/msg00059.html

a part is derived from another part name. any additional configuration
overrides the original configuration. if there's no additional configuration,
it's exactly the same except as an aliased name. 
this is more of a class extension concept rather than an alias. 

this has the potential to significantly compact avrdude.conf as there are
numerous chips which are nearly identical except for a few differences.
(memory size, signature for P/PA/PV extension, etc)


[part]
parent = [parent]
[configuration that adds, or replaces, information derived from the parent]
