Yes, I found that. But it forces you to register with that abysmal 
website in order to download the file, which I will avoid at all costs. 
It's probably the worstly designed, butt-ugly and confusing webforum 
I've ever seen in my entire life.

I thought WinAVR was discontinued? In order to apply the patches, I 
downloaded 4.3.4, against which they were made. Maybe hunks to followup 
versions succeed, I don't know.

If Jörg has compiled the patches, that's strange: On his website there 
is no reference to them (I looked there first :-))
