+firmware upgrade:
+
+ firmware is in marlin.git#iwj and works with make
+   various other firmwares for comparison only

+ produces Marlin.hex
+ depends on stuff in arduino-0022 (doesn't work with other arduino
+   versions, incompatible)
+ program with
+   avrdude -b 38400 -v -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -p atmega644P -c arduino -U flash:w:Marlin.hex
+ needs the reset jumper (which is right next to the mcu) fitted
