I wrote a Phyton script earlier this year that would scan the AVR
Studio XML files and add some pin description to the header. Of course
since the XML are not that good it would require some proof reading,
plus the script yeld some wargning so it help to target specific file
to check.

If i'm not mistaken it can be found in the patch section of avr-libc.

My goal was to define pin, port and ddr register for specific function
so that for example you could setup the SPI MISO pin as input by doing
SPI_MOSI_DDR |= _BV(SPI_MOSI_BV); regardless of if MOSI is in the
lower or upper part of PORTB(at least for ATmega 128 and 32 it
changes).

Sure I got screwed when I discovered that few devices had 2 SPI port.
But as you said... Dare to change it.
