Since these 2 will probably be dumped in the very near future, I don't see a 
reason for the comparison.

Joel, I don't know if you're subscribed to the avr-gcc-list mailing list, but I 
posted a question on that list this morning about any potential 
backwards-compatibility with simulavr. I got 5 immediate rejections of simulavr 
(nobody could get it to work) and nobody (yet) cares about 
backwards-compatibility.

That might be an interesting comparison, but hopefully in the future we can be 
feature compatibile with avrora, minus the RF support.

Overall, I don't see a great need now to do comparisons. I'd like to put this 
off as a future task.

It's just documentation, not code.
