	I used both gcc and the arduino IDE with the provided add-on to program
it and both work pretty well.
	It's just a small piece of software that allows you to target the
compiled output to the teensy directly from the IDE menus, on par with
the several arduino modles, and also calls the small gui that
communicates with the bootloader.

	The board for the teensy is pretty small, so it would probably increase
the price, not to mention the need for mechanical sturdiness would imply
the need for a small enclosure.
	The TI EZ430-Chronos comes with two boards like that, so it's possible,
but they definitely don't look sturdy...I got one for $25 some time ago,
but didn't make much use of it yet, mostly due to lack of time.
