After all the help I received so far
I thought I let you know how it goes.

I got delayed a lot by not being able to download AVRstudio from Atmel. 
Fun with proprietary software!

Today it finally worked (on a borrowed Windows machine, btw. Maybe this
is pure accident, or maybe the Atmel webpage does not like certain
browsers, or I did make too many typos when filling out the form,
who knows?)


I installed AvrStudio4 and Update SP3, hope this was right.

I think AppNotes2 has changed name (maybe this was SP3?).
I took Atmel/AVR\ Tools/AvrAssembler2/Appnotes which seems to work,
so I assume it's the right one.

went fine.  (I did not test build with make)

avrdude?

So I will free two arduinos now        (much work),
improvise an ISP with one of them      (easy),
find out which files to burn and how   (more work...)
more googling and probably man avrdude

as I said: slowly progressing...
