PIC Sofware Development Kits
I've found a GPL'd 'C' compiler and a PIC simulator that we can give away with the project.
I have successfully used the GPL'd http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/ compiler and the GPL gpsim http://www.dattalo.com/gnupic/gpsim.html emulator to create and run PIC programs for a variety of target devices. Some - documented - fiddling is needed during install and I have joined the sdcc mailing list to try and eliminate this.
I'm running Linux, but the packages work on Windows too.

Something you might want to look at is picloader. It allows a 16f87x device to reprogram itself. Very handy for in-circuit firmware upgrades.
I've seen that around, but first I need a PIC programmer! Tuesday/Wednesday, according to wife :)

The programmer I use came in the back of this book: Programming & Customizing PICmicro Microcontrollers. Had to buy the actual components and assemble it but it work perfectly on the, er, second try.
