At the moment, we can't put flash and EEPROM into a single hex file.
It wouldn't be hard to write a wrapper to feed an elf file to avrdude.
The wrapper would make any section with the right name a fuse section.
It would make any section with eeprom in its name an eeprom section.
It would relocate the lowest eeprom address to zero.
It would make the remaining loadable (IIRC) sections flash.
The wrapper wouldn't even have to know the magic addresses.
They would be inferable from the elf file.
