First I want to point out I'm doing a USB programmer.  Because it's only a
little more trouble, I'm also making the hardware capable of being a
debugger.  It's a LOT more trouble to interface it with MPLAB, so I'm not
promising that will ever happen.

I am not that familiar with the debug versions of these small PICs.
However, if they connect to the normal RJ-12 on the ICD2, then I expect that
it could work.  The software support is the big question.
