sbi (sfr,bit) can be replaced by  sfr |= _BV(bit)

ie: sbi(PORTB, PB1);  is now PORTB |= _BV(PB1);

This actually is more flexible than having sbi directly, as the optimizer 
will use a hardware sbi if appropriate, or a read/or/write if not.

Likewise, cbi (sfr,bit) is now   sfr &= ~(_BV(bit));


This has gone beyond a FAQ -- this really needs to be put into the avr-libc 
documentation.  Two simple lines (with possibly a sentence about the 
optimizer) will save everyone a lot of time.
