Although I do not use the pics, I have an idea, why not jumper the signals for
programming over to a socket for the pic to sit in. then when the jumpers are
removed, you have say 8 smd switches and 8 smd leds that runn of the pic, all
port pins avaliable on headers (say 10 way (2x5's) which are 8 data bits and
a +Vcc and gnd) the same as the AVR STK 300 / 500 etc.
