I used this too, because it's what the avr-libc manual shows, however
when I do this, GCC caughs :

lcd.c:96: error: ‘asm’ undeclared (first use in this function)
lcd.c:96: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
lcd.c:96: error: for each function it appears in.)
lcd.c:96: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘volatile’
make: *** [lcd.o] Error 1

the same avr manual (section 9.6.5, "macros") suggests that using
__asm__ instead of asm (and same for volatile) might help get rid of
warnings. So I tried that and it worked.. so I stick with it ;-)
