Subject: Nearly done picp 18F252/452 & similar parts

Hi,

Our tests with the 18F support on picp seems to be almost done, no know 
problems exists on this area.

I broke support for older pics, though, and I'll be fixing that. I 
expect to post then a patch against the current release by tomorrow, for 
testing purposes. If you don't find any bugs, we can then declare it 
stable (I'm being optimistic).

Besides 18Fxx2 support, other features previously not implemented

I developed on Linux, on ix86 platform, and I sometimes forget to take 
in account support for other architetures. All complaints on that are 
are welcome, patches are even better.

One thing which don't work is writing the eprom (aka data) area, I 
didn't implement it yet by lack of time (It seems like a trivial task, 
but sometimes I regret saying this). I'll probably do it only after 
releasing this first patch (Reading from the data area works fine, 
writing wasn't needed for our imediate purposes).

Verify the program area after recording and before writing the config 
bits wasn't implemented either, but is on priority list to follow shortly.

Due to demand, I'll include 6520 experimental support, to be used via 
ICSP :-)
If it works, I would appreciate feedback on other similar parts.
