Basically, all you gotta do is to write up a programmer implementation
that provices the setpin, getpin, and pulsehighpin methods.  The pin
number is passed verbatim to these methods (the way it has been found
in avrdude.conf), so it's up to the implementation to make any sense
out of these.

Also, have a look at the @HAVE_PARPORT_BEGIN@ and @HAVE_PARPORT_END@
stuff in avrdude.conf.in.  In order to make your FTDI bitbanger a
configuration option, you need to extend configure.ac a bit, and then
provide a couple of sed(1) substitution patterns for the positive and
negative configuration cases, so the final avrdude.conf can be
tailored appropriately.
