I have a solution to half of the problem. I have a macro that will 
read a byte anywhere in the Flash in an ATmega128, i.e. 17 bits and 
uses the ELPM instruction. But you have to know the byte's address 
beforehand.

This doesn't solve the issue of taking the address of an object and 
getting 17-bits.
