To defend Onno a bit, such a file is already in use. It's the one used
for tracing signals into VCD files. It's a single file in an arbitrary
position, you pass a path to it as parameter. See -c and -o parameters
for simulavr.

Extending this file to also hold stuff like CPU frequency or connected
devices (one line each) with an idiot-proof syntax appears to be
plausible. SIMINFO inside the AVR binary would go away, as well as
changes to ELF reading and this shared header file.
