Actually there's one minor issue that needs to be resolved before a 
release. If we can fix this, I have no problems with another release 
as long as Ted is OK with his AVR910 stuff.

Issue:
The "pony" definition in the config file is not quite accurate. If 
you take a look at their website: <http://www.lancos.com/prog.html>

You'll see that PonyProg is the *software* that interfaces *several* 
different kinds of hardware. One hardware device is the stk200. The 
"pony" definition in the config file is the same as the stk200 with 
the addition of the led line.

So the "pony" name is not very helpful or descriptive. In talking 
about this problem to Dan Williamson (who IIRC contributed the 
definition) he suggested IMHO a good name "pony-stk200".

Opinions?
