Have you tried avrdude's terminal mode(the -t switch)?  You can dump
the fuse bits in a readable format with a command like:
    dump lfuse 0 1
That may not be exactly correct, as I don't have any hardware to test
it on right now, but you can definitely dump out the fuse bits in 
terminal mode.

Also, the srecord tool can convert formats to allow you to read various
types of files.
