Philips and Maxim do USB host interface chips - Maxim is SPI, not looked at the Philips one. I think
Maxim have a variant that does host and peripheral for OTG applications. 
Might end up using a lot of the PIC's code space to support them though - something like an ARM is
probably more appropriate. 
I'd think you'd need to be making a LOT of units before the additional cost of the Vinculum chip
outweighed the development time to use anything else.
