The port had been done by Michael Fischer before the Configurator became
a useful tool. I assume, that it is still working in the current
release, although it hadn't been maintained any further.

Adding a new CPU to the Configurator isn't too difficult, though. You
simply need to add a few entries in the *.nut files in the nut/conf
directory by copy and paste the entries of similar CPUs. If something
went wrong, the Configurator will tell you the error line in the message
window.
