[avrdude-dev] Minor addition to avrdude config file

[Larry Barello]

I agree that "SAMPLE" is generic and confusing, but that is the name
of the Korean company that provided the programmer used in BASCOM
basic compiler... and it is how it is referred to within the BASCOM
product.  e.g SAMPLE vs STK500 vs STK200/300

I don't have any beef with calling it "BASCOM" and making the
descriptive text read "Bascom SAMPLE programmer cable".  Whatever
works.  My only interest is that people who purchased my starter kit
(www.barello.net/ARC) have a low cognitive hurdle to jump to be able
to download code from their GCC/makefile using the programming cable
used by Bascom.  Well, I suppose if they can figure out a makefile,
they can also figure out how to use "dt006" or "bascom" or write their
own configuration script :)

Hmmm. "SAMPLE" is kinda a generic name.... I'd rather stick with a
slightly more descriptive name of "bascom".

Ok ok. Here's the address :-):

Would you mind resending the suggestions there? That way I don't have
to keep being a go-between. :-)
