You don't know anything about WinAVR? :-)
See here: SourceForge project page:
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/winavr> Home page:
<http://winavr.sourceforge.net/> (Note that the "Package" page is
slightly out of date.)
Basically it's the AVR toolset, prebuilt binaries, for the Windows
platform. I started this package a couple of years ago. It now
includes: GNU Binutils GCC avr-libc avrdude uisp GDB / Insight
AVaRICE SimulAVR SRecord TkInfo MFile Programmers Notepad
(editor/soon-to-be IDE) a bunch of Unix utilites for Windows
Makefile template to use in AVR projects and a bunch of
documentation for the above projects.
It's a one stop shopping place for an AVR toolset.
The latest release, WinAVR 20040720, is now over 19,000 downloads.
The previous release, WinAVR 20040404, is over 35,500 downloads.

WinAVR is consistently in the top 10 of the "Compilers" category in
SourceForge. It currently ranks number 5 in that category.
