Yes - before I added support for the stk500 and came up with the 'pgm'
interface, the ppi.c file was basically just the ppi manipulating
functions you mentioned above.  At that time, I probably should have
created a new file, say, parallel.[ch] instead of dumping all the
parallel port programmer operations into ppi.c.

What if we leave ppi.[ch] to be ppi_get/set, etc and create a new file
for the parallel port programmer stuff, maybel parallel.[ch] or
something.  We'd change the programmer type in the config file to
match the new name, of course.  ppi.* would simply retain the low
level parallel port manipulation functions, where parallel.[ch] would
contain the higher level parallel programmer routines.

Would that make it easier or not to support varying platforms where
the ppi_set/get etc routines need to be implimented differently?
