The basic idea was that this disassembler I started to work on could find
all relevant places, bank switchings etc. It knows which address is
referenced by what instruction. For this one the tool has to know which
register file is what -- this part is already done. So I thought that if I
know these info about the other PIC than it should not be a big trouble to
change all of these info -- I may wrong on this, tough. Basically it is a
kind of compiler, except that the input is not an ASM file (aka text file)
nor a C or whatever else but a binary.

My doubt about this is that the other chip may have a different clock freq
so that all time related stuff would fail. For example you might have to
change time scaler for watchdog or timer interrupt, and also if the code
based on instruction cycles (aka an iteration calculating time, make delays
etc) then you have to put nops or change values for that. And that's very
hard to tell by a stupid tool which of these values have to be changed to
what.
