 * jtagmkI.c (jtagmkI_send): Replace %zd format by %u since not all
 implementations do understand the C99 formatting options (sigh).
 * jtagmkII.c (jtagmkII_send): (Ditto.)
 * stk500v2.c (stk500v2_recv): (Ditto.)

 * stk500v2.c: Fix a serious memory corruption problem resulting
 out of the chaining of both, the stk500v2 and the jtagmkII
 programmers for some programming hardware (JTAG ICE mkII and AVR
 Dragon running in ISP, HVSP or PP mode), where both programmers
 have to maintain their private programmer data.

 bug #22206: avrdude: ser_setspeed(): tcsetattr() failed
 * ser_posix.c (ser_setspeed): Don't pass TCSAFLUSH to tcsetattr() as
 it apparently fails to work on Solaris. After reading the
 documentation again, it seems TCSAFLUSH and TCSANOW are indeed
 mutually exclusive.

 bug #22234: WINDOWS version: HOWTO: Specify Serial Ports Larger than COM9
 * ser_win32.c (ser_open): prepend \\.\ to any COM port name, so it is
 safe to be used for COM ports above 9.

 bug #26408: Crash in stk500v2_open()
 * stk500generic.c: Implement setup and teardown hooks, calling in turn
 the respective hooks of the stk500v2 implementation.

 it, before it is potentially used as the source of a call to
 strlen or strcpy.

 * doc/avrdude.texi: Merge the -P 0xXXX option description from
 avrdude.1.

 requires `AM_PROG_CC_C_O' in `configure.ac'"
