Thanks!

One or two questions though:

"I'm going to assume you have Cygwin installed (or using Linux). 
Alternatively, you may be using a DOS or MSYS shell instead. 
To install AVR-Ada currently, you need to download and install:

   1. WinAVR-20100110-install.exe
   2. AVR-Ada-1.1.0.exe "

It seems these instructions are Windows only, despite the assumption.

Presumably WinAVR is unnecessary; the only tool I can see in the Linux section
is avrdude, available from
http://www.nongnu.org/avrdude/
The Linux AVR-Ada binaries are very obsolete - 0.41 - so presumably it's built
from source.

But then:
"If you're using Linux instead (not using Cygwin), your make file can be
simpler:
MCU=atmega168p 
AVRDUDE_CONF=C:/WinAVR-20100110/bin/avrdude.conf"

C:?
Makes me wonder if you ARE using WinAVR, but under Wine?
If so, it's worth mentioning which version of Wine it was tested with.
Or is this a Cygwin-ism that escaped into the Linux script?

If you can easily answer these - great! If not, you may just have inspired me to
test it for myself. I bought an Arduino in, ahem, March, and it's been waiting
for a spare moment ;-)
