stk500v2 bootloader doesn't support reading fuses

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. avrdude -U Xfuse:r:-:h

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the real fuse values.
Instead, all fuses return 0.

What version of the Arduino software are you using? On what operating
system?  Which Arduino board are you using?

Arduino-0022, arduino mega2560 board.

Please provide any additional information below.
line 663 in 
https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/blob/master/hardware/arduino/bootloaders/stk5
00v2/stk500boot.c  (and also the comments in the header of the file)  say that 
this is simply not supported yet.

I can't find any other bug flagging this, so filed this.

Does anyone have know where in the STK500 docs the specs for responding to the 
CMD_SPI_MULTI command are. I cant find how to figure out which one the request 
is for.

Note that fuse values are a bit irrelevant to a bootloader (and they can't be 
changed by the bootloader.)  Optiboot won't return real fuse values either.
