Sweet!  Thanks Anton (missed you at the last meeting!  It was a hoot!).

Anyway.. I was debating on whether to go with a module based system more like 
the Audriono (which has obvious standardized, pre-designed IO board 
advantages) over the raw AVR uController by itself...  But one of the reasons 
that I was leaning toward the Arduino was because it has all of the registers 
predefined in it's java based GUI in it's pull down device selection menu.

But now that I look at this site that you listed, I see that in one of their 
projects, the source code calls some support libraries that seem to load up 
said register variables:
	(from http://nerdkits.com/videos/musicbox1/musicbox1.c)
	[...]
	#include <avr/io.h>
	#include <avr/interrupt.h>
	#include <avr/pgmspace.h>
	[...]

Do you have experience with these header files?  Are they for just ONE of the 
ATmel devices?  How do you "switch" between models?  Anyone?
