winarm for lpc2106 blink switch

//
//             Philips LPC210X LED/Switch Example
//             for the the Olimex LPC-P2106 board
//
// This example demonstrates writing to and reading from 
// the GPIO port. It does:
// (1) flash the LED 10 times
// (2) wait for key-press, turn off LED of key is pressed

This project has been my "ice-breaker" to start with the
ARM7-architecture on an Olimex demo-board. A lot of information
and code used for this example has been found in the internet.

There are some copyright-notes in some of the files, but 
everything has been downloaded from freely available sites.
I do not own any commercial software for this controller from
which I could have copied code. So I hope there is no copyright 
violation. Please inform me if you think your copyrights have
been violated an I will take this project off-line.

credits:
- GNUARM has been used in the "cygwin-edition".
- The makefile is based on an nmake-makefile from R O SoftWare 
  and the WINAVR makefile-sample by E. Weddingtion, J. Wunsch et. al.
  I've added/changed/ported a lot so don't expect everything is 
  correct - it works for me in this project.
- The linker-skripts and the startup-code is also from a sample
  made by R O Software. IRC it has been found in the yahoo LPC-group 
  file-archive.
- The lpc210x.h file is from Keil but has been included in an
  "open source" demo found in the net. IRC in a project by 
  senz(at)arm.dreamislife.com.
- The main-code was based on a sample from Rowley Associates Limited
  but there is not much (nothing?) left from the original code.
- Pin-out of the demo-board taken from the Olimex manual.  
- ISP-tool by M. Maurer is included for convinience.
- The WINAVR distribution includes the gnu-tools which are not
  included in the GNUARM-package. I have installed WINAVR here
  and the directory with the GNU-tools (make, sh etc.) is in the 
  PATH ($PATH,%PATH%) environment variable.

  
Feedback welcome.

Cheers,
Martin
