No, of course not.

I want to make sure, that as many people as
possible can participate, no matter what their
skills in configuring and building toolchains
are or what kind of development environment
they prefer. Many Nut/OS users are hardware
freaks with limited software knowledge.

May be, someone can setup a pre-build toolchain
for a specific target platform and contribute
it for download as a first, temporary step.

P.S. Personally I'll use Atmel's AT91EB40A Kit
until my company designs a new Ethernut.
