Well, while I agree that many programmers available for sale will save 
you lots of time and in the end money too,
I'm still using a basic NoPPP programmer that I developed back in 2001.
Once in a while I add some devices to the available algorhitms (main App 
is developed in C for Windows). It just works off the RS232, and has a 
power supply, a regulator and some 2 transistors.

I also created a quite simple USB version for use on recent notebooks 
which don't have a serial port. In some sense this one is much more 
smart, but actually the PIC is about the only difference in the schematic.

So, if you have time and will to learn, I ssure suggest you build your 
own and share your results.
But, of course, it won't be quick neither cheap!
