   The C compiler I've used with the older PICs works pretty well (it's CCS   
   PCM).   
   It's just not really standard C though. In particular auto variables aren't   
   on a stack so nothing is re-entrant (no recursion, no using the same   
   routines in both the main program and interrupt routines).   
   But I found this to be a pretty minor restriction when programming such   
   small chips.   
   I guess it might be a problem if you're intending to reuse existing C code.
