A demonstration of binary code modulation LED dimming.
Nigel Batten, 2008

Written for a 'factory setting' Mega8 (highbyte: 0xd9, lowbyte:  0xe1)
e.g. running on 1Mhz internal RC oscillator.

Outputs a 'sweep' pattern on LEDs connected to port D.
Could be extended to handle more ports.
Could be modified to mask off pins used for other purposes.
