The hunk above doesn't apply anymore. The code in SVN head does mostly
what we need, but moving delay calibration before programmer_init() is
still needed.

The repeated programmer_shutdown(); exit(1); pattern makes it clear that
we need a function exit_and_shutdown(int exitcode). That function should
replace exit() almost everywhere.
