Nice!  The AVR port could certainly use more help!

Plese Cc me when you submit patches.  I'll be glad to test them
and commit to CVS after they're approved.

Me and Giovanni work in the same office... that's why
we share a common interest for some targets :-)

This is very interesting.  Are there some instructions

the latest WinAVR release, thus solving a couple of
code generation bugs that previously forced us to build
GCC under Cygwin.

Thank you, Eric!
