Ah, sorry, I missed that.

Curious: what extra library requirement?

libelf is not required albeit recommended so one could flash directly
from the ELF files.

No, it applies fine.  It's just I missed it.

Also, it works now.

I have done one change: static per-programmer data are discouraged.
The idea behind is that the core of avrdude is built as a library, so
other front-ends (namely, a GUI frontend) could eventually use them.
As such, static data should rather be per-instance data for each
programmer instance.  The "setup" and "teardown" methods are there to
construct and destroy these per-instance data.  I have changed your
implementation that way.

Thank you very much for your contribution, Alan!  I'll commit the
changes shortly.

Next time, it's better to put all that into a patch tracker (once you
are fine with it).  That way, it will ensure your contribution won't
be forgotten.
