PICkit 2 is aiming to support most of the PICs including
PIC12F/PIC16F/PIC18F/PIC18J/dsPICs even though right now the
support is quite limited.

It will support more chips once Microchip release the 
firmware source code and some capable hackers will do it for
Linux as well. One person is actually doing it right now.

PICkit 1 does support 18pin PIC like 16F627A/628A/648A in 
the latest V1.70 classic software.

All the firmware source code is available.  
All the schematics are available.  
The intent was to make the Pickit2 as hackable as possible.

Yes I noticed that - it won't support 18 pin PICs!
