No.

No.

The offsets are, at least, minimally intrusive, and fit somewhat within the
standard Intel Hex file format. I will not change the basic Intel Hex File
format.

I will note that Rick Altherr has given a set of patches on the avr-libc-dev
list to implement setting fuses within an application.

Patches to avrdude are welcome to read an ELF file, and to program flash,
eeprom, and fuses from a single ELF file.
