Well as a starting point check out the free Hitech C compiler that does the
16F627/16F84. It will also do the 16F628, provided you use only the memory
available in the 16F627.

I have not investigated to see if it will produce ASM files from the C, but
if it will it may be practical to fiddle it to produce linkable modules to
handle processors with larger memory sizes.
