Tha'ts probably Eclipse-specific.

This has to do with automatically generating header file dependency 
information. There is an update to the WinAVR sample makefile. 

Get MFile: <http://www.sax.de/~joerg/mfile/>
This automatically generates a makefile for use with AVR GCC. The makefile 
template (for the Windows version) that it uses is based on the WinAVR sample 
makefile, however, it has been updated to use a new system for generating 
header dependency information that is not based on the 'sed' program. This 
should make things a little easier all the way around. I know for a fact that 
it's faster than the old system.

FYI, the reason for including PN instead of another editor / IDE, also has to 
do with size (PN is small for the features it has), and no prerequisites, i.e. 
you don't have to go and install a JVM to use it. :-)
