I used to run it on a daily basis. Now it's on an "occasional" basis. Mike 
Stein has set up some automatic testing on the GCC Compile Farm which tests the 
avr on a daily basis.

After I wade through some higher priority stuff, I'll see about getting a 
baseline to work from, with avrtest, and simulavrxx HEAD.
