Can USBTiny be used for downloading sketches?

If so- how would you do this from the Ardunio IDE?
It seems as though you should not select a COM port when using USBTiny. How does the Arduino IDE know which port to use?

The USBTiny does not emulate a COM port. But AVRDude (and the IDE) will recognize it as a programmer if you configure it: http://blog.lincomatic.com/?p=10

Arduino 1.0 has this ability built in, but nothing earlier
