Remove these 2 lines too. There is no way to get the
max allowed dp value *without* the environment-query.
So you cannot get the number of free flash cells, sorry
for the confusion my mail has triggered :(

Which leads to the underlying problem. When I worked on
the environment queries, I wanted to put some useful
data into them. The forth standard has a few rather
trivial things not really something useful IMHO. 

I added some numbers from Atmel's partdescription files 
as a data structure "mcu-info". Like the maximum value 
for the dictionary pointer DP, some memory sizes and 
the controller name as a string. My impression is, 
that environment queries are not a favorable way 
nowadays... 

It is not necessary to utilize environment queries to
wrap those information, a prominent exception is the
cpu frequency (f_cpu). But is it worth the effort? And
what would be a useful (and simple to generate!) way
to do it? Simply the address of the mcu-info structure
or an individual word for every information? Or keep the
environment? thing (methodologically a clean way IMHO).
