It was only a minor sugesstion.  However, most developers did get
untidy and rude with the requirements (See thread
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/avrdude-dev/2010-04/msg00016.html).
There was only one positive response
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/avrdude-dev/2010-04/msg00018.html).

Someone even prefer to change the references to "Linux" to "POSIX" in
order to a avoid at all any reference to GNU
(http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/avrdude-dev/2010-04/msg00022.html).
Taking into account POSIX is a propietary standard I don't agree with
Joerg.  I sugesst instead to list each platform as in
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/#Platforms but I don't see this in
the requirements page.  What do you think?.

Regards.
