on a related note, I have a tool chain for avr-gcc that runs from inside 
Xcode and compiles and flashes the device with one key command. It's 
pretty easy to setup if you're interested.

Various other gcc based toolchains are also possible to integrate. All the 
other stuff, ya still need windows for.

To add to the bootcamp fray here, that's a pretty expensive way for a mac 
owner to install firmware as one still needs to buy a copy of windows, use 
up at least 10gigs of disk space, and spend several hours installing XP 
before they can flash the box.

I'd much rather the handshake spec was posted and someone could whip a 
cocoa downloader together in an afternoon.
