I did an update and it doesn't quite do that.

avrdude -c ? works and lists the programmers.

avrdude -p ? spits out:
avrdude: no programmer has been specified on the command line or the 
config file
         Specify a programmer using the -c option and try again

And it would be great if a user coud list the AVR devices supported 
without having to specify a programmer to do it.
