WinAVR is the Windows packaging of the AVR-GCC stuff, along with
the avr-libc library.
Along with some other stuff, too. ;-)
(In addition, WinAVR is about to be deprecated in favor of a
toolset integrated into AVR Studio. It is on it's last official
release, at least officially.)
Officially, it's up to me what to do with WinAVR. Admittedly there
hasn't been a lot of incentive what with AS5 coming out with a
toolchain.
However, based on some discussion on AVR Freaks, I'm reconsidering.
WinAVR is a great project, it would be a pity if it would die.
IMO the best way for AS to cooperate with avr-gcc is to provide WinAVR
seperately and supply an interface to it. If AS supported to chose the
installation path of avr-tools, AS users could easily switch to their
favourate versions of avr-gcc and try new releases.
I can understand that you are absorbed by and focused at the big AS5
project, but letting WinAVR die and deploying avr-gcc /only/ within a
mega-project like AS5 is no good idea, IMO.
