"omake" build tools don't work with Arduino 1.5.x and 1.6.x IDE versions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

the omake utility, which builds optiboot using the tools that are included in 
the arduino IDE (so that you don't have to install any other AVR development 
environment just to compile a custom optiboot) does not work in the 1.5.x beta 
IDE, or in the 1.6 release version of the Arduino IDE.

This is because the arduino IDE is no longer including binaries for tools like 
"make" and "bash" that are needed for the build.

This is unlikely to be fixed :-(

Workaround: install a 1.0 based copy of the arduino IDE and use that as the 
tool/build directory for optiboot.

There are some issues with using the older released of Arduino IDE centered 
around the compiler - specific example, the 1.0.x release has a down-rev 
compiler which does not recognize all the AVR chips, e.g. the ATmega64M1, or 
has errors (e.g. ATmega32M1).

And yes, there are a ton of things broken in 1.6.0 with regards to trying to 
recompile optiboot files. Even copying up the utils directory does not solve 
them all...
