If you pay me an arm and a leg I'll make a forming press, take a bunch of
regular DIP sockets and bend them for you.  ;-)

I imagine *someone* still manufactures them, since a lot of FPGAs require serial
eeproms to save their configuration (generally 8-pin), but I doubt they are a
frequently used item.

Looks like these guys make them (used AltaVista "DIP sockets surface mount"):
http://www.mill-max.com/
http://www.electrostock.com/ (supplier, see the line card for Andon Electronics)

These guys might have them (didn't explore thoroughly):
http://www.advintcorp.com/

etc, etc.  I'm sure there are others.
