What is the cheapest AVR that will work for me?
And is there a programmer you can build or just modify the pic ones?

I already know C so should be easy learning.

I'd probably look at the specs of the lower-end chips that support AVR-
GCC. Some of them (ATtiny11L) don't even have any on-chip RAM, which
makes me wonder how the stack works.

The difference in cost between the low and high end of the ATtiny range
is only about $2.00, so I wouldn't waste time trying to make the cheaper
parts work unless I were going to build 1000+ of whatever I was working
on. The ATtiny45V sounds good, and DigiKey has 'em in stock (ATTINY45V-
10PI-ND).

I know a lot of people use the AVRDude programmer
(http://www.bsdhome.com/avrdude/), which apparently now works under both
*nix and Win32. I use an STK-500 programmer myself, but those are
fairly pricy even on eBay. Lots of options out there.
