Thanks for the pointer.  Got it.  Alas, that tool is completely
unportable, and requires Linux to run.  It suffers from bashomania
(like using $((I--)) when the POSIX way wouldn't require much more
work), and also uses non-portable options to other Unix tools (like
the option -f for time(1)).  I'm close to give up on that :(,
partially because of not getting it to run on my FreeBSD host, and
obviously, it stands no chance to be run against an AVR target system
anyway.

The idea behind that tool is great, I only wish the authors had taken
a class in portable shell scripting before.  It's not that all the
world's a Vax these days...

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
