Here we go, another C versus ASM war.

I use AVR a lot and Atmel is forcing me into using C,
all new ANs are using C.

Than again, the bootloader in C is writing all over the SRAM
section of atmega screwing up my cunning memory backup
plan in process, even when it just checks the pin and jumps to
the reset vector. :(

With asm you always know what to expect, with C its a guessing
game.
