Yes I think so too! I haven't changed much in the trunk version, so we 
can simply overwrite everything!
In the mean time I have concentrated somewhat on the language files I 
got from some people, but as you have seen, they are in the branched 
version too.

This is indeed a thing that I also wanted to change. What autodetect 
should do is reading the device id from the PIC.
But when pictype can't find the detected devId, it will replace it with 
the "default pic" which is P18F2550.

sure, you are right
