Right.  Don't forget 'avrdude' for downloading to flash.  Make sure
you update your ports tree to get the latest version.

Also note that Joerg is no longer supporting FreeBSD 4.x with the
avr-gcc port, so for smoothest operation you might want to be at 5.3
Release or later.

As author of avrdude and the maintainer of the FreeBSD avrdude port, I
recently disabled the doc build for avrdude by default.  The doc
dependencies were huge and since avrdude already has a good man page,
the extra doc was mostly redundent.
