Ok.  AVRDUDE is pretty useless without a config file anyway since
that's the only way it knows about the parts so I don't think we lose
anything by doing this.  And the advantage is that it keeps from
hard-coding the the default values in the binary.

Ok - I'll go ahead and split ppi.* off to par.*.  ppi.* will keep the
low level parallel port access routines and par.* will be more
analogous to stk500.*, retaining the higher level programmer
interface.
