A hardware question (it seems to be my day for questions!).
If you have SPI port enabled, used as a Master, do you have to tie the
SSEL0 pin high, or can you program that pin as a GPIO (and somehow the 
SPI core gets a permanent high supplied to it internally) ?

Seems a waste of an I/O pin to have to tie it high where most SPI 
applications would be SPI master
