Wouter,

About the MCLR pin...

I've often wondered:  if you do this does it mean that
power-cycling is the only way to reset this chip?

If so, does it imply that you have to have a "clean
starting" power supply, where otherwise you could rely
on resetting to start the chip peoperly?  Or is the
internal POR circuitry good enough?
