Yes, it's compatible with MPLAB.  That's how the customer builds and debugs
now.  The issue however is not MPLAB compatibility, but MPASM/MPLINK.  I
have looked thru the PICC 18 docs, and they have their own assembler (with
different enough syntax to be a pain), their own object file format, and
their own linker.  I don't see any way of mixing MPASM and PICC 18 code in
the same project.  If anyone has actually done this, I'd really like to hear
how.

It hadn't occurred to me that any compiler vendor would be so brain dead as
to make their suite incompatible with MPASM/MPLINK, but apparently HiTech
is.  Please show me I'm wrong.
