The ideal design (no parts, or, at least, no additional parts) seems to be
to use the low voltage detector in the PIC to generate an interrupt and
save stuff away to eeprom as the power supply dies. The question is
whether the power supply voltage falls slowly enough to do what needs to
be done. I've done this in a couple products to save away a few bytes.
