The Revision window, on the bottom of the Board tab of the STK500 tool, now says "STK500 ver 1.42"

I don't much care for this automatic "You must upgrade or else" mode of operation but, hay, it works!

It's a really BAD idea for the professional developer.
What happens when the auto-upgrade hoses your hardware?
We have two AVRISP's that went this way. Totally useless after the upgrade.
Fortunately, we had a spare on hand, but this sort of thing should ALWAYS 
be left up to the user.
