...Just in case somebody wants to review that.

I also invented symbolic constants for the watchdog timeouts,
describing the approximate expiry time @ Vcc = 5.0 V.  The differences
between the devices are neglicible since it was apparently a design
goal that the oscillator controlling the watchdog timer runs at 1 MHz
@ 5 V.  Thus it makes some sense to have symbolic constants.

The timer will run slower at lower voltage, and that's where
the differences become huge: for all older devices (by design), the
timeout will increase by a factor of ~ 3 when going down to Vcc = 3 V,
while the ATmega128 and ATmega8 experience only little slowdown.
