Hi Scott,

Your help is definitely appreciated, however, here are a few suggestions:
- Don't send your avrdude patch to the avr-chat mailing list. The avrdude 
project resides on Savannah and has it's own mailing list.
- Better still, don't send your patch to a mailing list, as emails get lost 
very quickly. Avrdude has a Patch Tracker, where you can attach your patch and 
I can guarantee you that the avrdude developers will then eventually get to 
that patch. See here:
<https://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?group=avrdude>
You have to have a Savannah user ID and password to create a new Patch Tracker 
item.
- It's better to use the -u switch when you create a patch. This creates a 
"unified" form patch, which is much easier to read when evaluating new patches. 
In general, most open source projects usually prefer to deal with patches 
created with diff -u (and sometimes other switches as well such as -p for C 
source code).

HTH,
Eric Weddington
