If you look at 'AVR068: STK500 Communication Protocol', you'll see on 
page one:

"All device specific values can be found in the xml files for each part. 
The xml files
are distributed with AvrStudio 4.11 or later. Download the latest AVR 
Studio 4.X
from the Atmel web site, http://www.atmel.com/products/AVR/. The xml 
file format
is described in section 6."

And I had to look at these xml files to find what was the command to 
send to have
the write routine of 'v2' to work for eeprom since 'AVR068' refers to 
symbolic
names for command values, these symbolic names being resolved in the xml 
files.

If Atmel is acting this way, then an external tool that process their 
xml files to update
particular sections of  avrdude.conf and write an updated file would be 
fine. (and
have 'v2' getting command values from avrdude.conf and not hard written in
the functions)
