Re: [POSSIBLE VIRUS:###] RE: [avr-libc-dev] Adding (some) Procyon AVRlib functionality toavr-libc

[Ruddick Lawrence]

I think LibAVR might be too confusing. I know on avrfreaks a lot of people
complained that Procyon AVRLib (often shortened to just AVRLib) was too
easily confused with avr-libc. I guess we should think about what this
library really does (all I can think of is that it's "utilities") and see if
there's a concise word to describe it... I'm coming up dry in that regards.
