iirc you said that those simulate spi chips. in that case it would make
sense to add them imho, even if there are probably not many use
cases... it is a trivial, inexpensive change that pays out even if a
single user needs this once imho :)

the trademark is "USB-Blaster", please use that instead everywhere
(including in the msg_perr invocations)

i have not really looked at this hunk yet, but in general it looks ok,
the double "ifeq ($(WANT_LIBFTDI), yes)" is wtf though :)

hm... called "DATAOUT" in Table 2–2 in the "USB-Blaster Download Cable

some links to relevant documentation would be handy here too.

in general we (seem to) try to avoid '//' although i am not really in
favor of this.

this has to die.
my favorite is
http://graphics.stanford.edu/~seander/bithacks.html#ReverseByteWith64Bits
but anything without a lookup table would be better than this.

if your know the upper limit of variables like this, then please use an
appropriately dimensioned type of the uint*_t family.

thanks a lot for your effort! the only really mandatory change
requirements are the one in the makefile and the reverse array. the
others are partly personal opinions, but at least give them some
thought when refining the patch please.
