I have tried the V1.70.0 version of the PICKIT 1 Classic
application with 16F648A and 16F877A. It is working for
the 16F648A (tested with the EASYISP firmware for Wisp628).
I believe it should work with 16F627A and 16F628A 18pin
device as well.

For the 16F877A, it does not work properly. It can recognize
the chip but programming failed. Maybe it is because of the
ICSP cable. Maybe it is because of the application is not
really ready for 16F877A.

Here is a code snippet from the V170 Pickit 1 classic application. 
So it seems that it will support the new 16F785 and 16F91x. Quite
surprised to see 16F627A/628A/16F877A as well. Maybe it is not 
implemented yet. I will try this sometime later.

The original only supports the 12F675 (or other chip with an identical
memory map).

My additions to the software attempt to support the following:
$ grep deviceName usb_pickit.c
         deviceName="12F629";
          deviceName="12F675";
          deviceName="16F630";
          deviceName="16F676";
          deviceName="16F635";
          deviceName="16F683";
          deviceName="16F636 / 16F639";
          deviceName="16F684";
          deviceName="16F685";
          deviceName="16F687";
          deviceName="16F688";
          deviceName="16F689";
          deviceName="16F690";

I am using 16F688 on my project.  Other parts have not been tested,
but I filled in values from the datasheet and they *should* work,
except for when I mistyped something.

If someone wants to try programming some other parts, it is not hard
to add devices.  Look for the big switch statement in usb_pickit.c or
just tell me what part you want to try and I'll add it for you.

I could also set up a cross-compiler to make Win32 versions, if
someone will commit to testing them for me.
