Well, technically, it must always be the programmer to set them.

We've been contemplating off and on a way to specify them inside the
source code, so you could e. g. say

FUSES(0xe1, 0x11, 0xff);

but so far, nobody has implemented such a scheme.  It would require
some minimal changes to the infrastructure (namely the linker scripts,
and avrdude to accept a single combined "fuse" memory space), and it
will be a lot of work to add symbolic names for each fuse to each
device's <avr/io.h> file.  Other than this, it's perfectly possible to
implement -- but not done yet.
