If the Wisp628 could support the PICPRG protocol before, I can't think of a
reason is couldn't now.  Parts of the firmware would probably have to be
jettisoned since support for all PIC types doesn't fit into the 16F648A of a
EasyProg either.  There are assembly time switches in the firmware just for
that purpose.

Of course you could just get a EasyProg and save yourself a lot of porting
work.  Otherwise the suggestion of porting the Wisp628 firmware to the
EasyProg sounds like a good one to me ;-)
