Hands down, the easiest way to get to USB convenience is to use the new 
FTDI FT232R. It is a
Tssop28 device with MANY features, including 6/12/24Mhz clock output, 
internal EEPROM to
install your own text "Wouter WISP666 USB Programmer", etc, and an 
advanced bit-banging
scheme that actually appears to work. Its not expensive, either, and has 
a WONDERFUL driver
that has no errors. Linux version, too. As far as the application is 
concerned, the FT232R is seen
as a VCP serial port.

I've done two successful commercial products with it in 6 months. Its a 
piece of cake.
