Note that these header files are never trivial. There are automatically 
generated from the XML device files that are shipped with AVR Studio. If AVR 
Studio doesn't have the XML files, then we don't have the header files for 
them. Adding support for a device requires more than just adding a header file.

Support for a fair number of those devices are already done. Some won't be done 
by the next release.
