I've just released uavrp, a Linux and Windows program to program AVR
microcontrollers over USB.  The USB device is based on Igor Cesko's USB
firmware for AVR, and programs at about 100 bytes/second.  If you happen
to have a USB "B" plug or don't mind destroying a USB cable, you can
probably build this programmer out of parts you have on hand.

uavrp is written in Python, and uses libusb to communicate with the
programmer.  (big kudos to the creators of Python, mingw, and
libusb-win32 for making this software port easily to Windows---I'm a
Linux developer at heart)

While I gave this release the number "1.0", it is composed mostly of
rough edges, except for the gaps in functionality.  If you'd like to
help me improve uavrp, get in touch.  I have extra circuit boards for
the programmer (the production run gave 20 boards and I've used at most
half a dozen), contact me if you'd like one.
