That's Keith's call.  It seems like we should be able to find one or two
people who are willing to volunteer out of 160 subscribers, though.

The message that I responded to said this:

"I build Insight/GDB and include it in the WinAVR package:
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/winavr> Which is a suite of open source
cross development tools targetting the AVR and hosted on Windows.  Note
that one of the previous releases of WinAVR has had over 42,000
downloads."

That would imply that I was already speaking to the WinAVR people.
