No chance. By accident avrdude still supports the same symbolic names,
that are used by the compiler for the target CPU. Although this is not
documented. Thus, in most cases this works on the AVR platform out of
the box.

In general you need to edit Makeburn because of the interface and
possibly other options, like verify etc. You can also create your own
Makeburn files, the Configurator will detect them automatically.

Just in case: Do not overload the Configurator with items, that are not
Nut/OS specific. Creating an app tree or selecting Makeburn should be
viewed as temporary features. They are just there, because we have no
alternative and to get newbies up and running easily.
