Thanks for the heads up, Eric.  We do still have a few outstanding
patches and an issue of memory verification using the new STK500V2
programmer and I think that may extend over to the JTAG MkII also.
Also, a new bit-bang serial programmer is in the works, hopefully that
will be ready soon and be committed.  Additionally, I think USB
programmer support is also very close, though last I saw there were
some performance issues but the functionality is there.  Beyond that,
there are still some patches pending in the queue.  Hopefully we can
do a simultaneous release and your WinAVR will be able to include the
latest release of AVRDUDE.

Thanks,
-Brian
