I agree with #8265.

IMHO we can't do much about #7309 and #7492 without more information.

We  should take care of #7383 sometime, but I don't think it must get 
in before the release.

#3170 and #3172 could be included with almost no risk. I like the idea 
of a compile date. However, I think the information should only be in 
the CVS and I would like to have it behind the version number.

#3092 looks nice, but I haven't had time to look at it in greater 
detail. IMHO it should go in shortly *after* the release.

IMHO #3136 is important, because some chips (slow internal RC) can't 
be programmed without it (using STK500). However, I think that it 
would be nice to be able to change the SPI-clock at the command line 
or in the configuration, too.

It looks like we will have to think about SPI-clock for PPI 
programmers, too: The SPI-code for windows is still waiting for a 
major speedup which would break programming of slow (500kHz) devices.

And perhaps there are people who have their AVR running at 32.768kHz

No objections from me.

- Baudrate for serial programmers is selectable via config or 
command-line-switch.

- Removed deprecated options!!!

- Some small fixes and cleanup
