Yes, probably:
$(OBJCOPY) -O ihex $(PROJECT).out $(PROJECT).hex
is good enough, I just copied "-R .eeprom" from one of my projects,
where I use the eeprom but don't want to have it in my hex file.
(I'm just lazy ;) )

You should also look what's the difference between these two files (with a
simple editor):
$(OBJCOPY) -O binary $(PROJECT).out $(PROJECT).bin
and
$(OBJCOPY) -j .text -O binary $(PROJECT).out
$(PROJECT).text_section_only.bin

and of course you should look at:
avr-objdump -D $(PROJECT).out > $(PROJECT).asm
the "__do_copy_data" part is the most interesting one.
