Is there a list of bugs for 3.3.1?  Would it be safer for me to stay with 
3.3.1 till the 3.4/3.5 issues are sorted out?

Here is a tip for anyone running WinAVR on XP.  XP using
NTFS does support symbolic links.  In XP they are called
'junctions'.   If you do a 'dir' at the XP command prompt
they show up as <JUNCTION> rather than <DIR>.

The program you need for creating junctions can be found here:

My WinAVR directory is actually a Junction that I can point at
either the 3.3.1 release or the 3.4.x release.  Makes it easy
to keep multiple compilers on line with out (re)install issues.
