I ended up implementing a slightly different algorithm: if
the port name provided doesn't match any of lpt1/2/3, try
interpreting as the address.  If that works (i.e. the entire
string can be converted into a number), use it.

I don't think there's any point in mentally restricting the
feature to just PCI cards; back in the old ISA days, there
have been cards around that could be jumpered to various
"odd" addresses as well.

This patch allows to specify the base address of a PCI parallel port card as port parameter. This way you can use such cards with avrdude.

Using the base address was also explained at the mailing list (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/avrdude-dev/2008-07/msg00000.html) and it got a positive confirmation that it works. (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/avrdude-dev/2008-07/msg00005.html)

The patch still relies on the user to find out the base address of his hardware.

The patch also includes the necessary changes for the documentation.
