I will have to give avrdude to some people (in some weeks, at least, so not 
hurrying), they'll be doing boards pre-test, so I would like to have a 
separate "programmer-pack" for them.
Though it's a bit "selfish" need ;^) (I could give them anyway a zipped 
archive with everything in it), maybe could be of some interest to others...?

I mean, the all-inclusive developers' pack is quite cool, for developers, but 
my customers won't ever need all that stuff together, when they're doing 
production tests or post-production service.

Another subject, but still related: would it be a good/bad/questionable idea, 
having a Windows installer doing the giveio installation/removal in a 
(semi)automated way?
