Has anyone used an Arduino UNO as an ISP programmer for other AVR chips (such as on a breadboard)?

All the guides I can find seem to specifically mention programming Arduino code onto standalone AVR chips, but I'm interested in writing my own code in C and using the Arduino ISP to upload them to a standalone AVR.

Can I assume that the program that generates the hex doesn't actually matter and everything will work fine if I upload an AVR-GCC hex file instead of an Arduino Hex file?

Sorry if this is really obvious, but I figure this is the case and I just wanted to run it by you guys.

I use a USBasp I bought off ebay for less than $4 delivered thats fully compatible with the ISP interface. You can add a couple of lines to the programmer text file and use it through the Arduino IDE. I have had no problems burning bootloaders to ATmega644p and 1284p chips. It should also work through Atmel Studio if you want to ditch the Arduino IDE but I haven't tried it out yet.
