I built one.  Works great.  I'll sell you mine cheap, if you want.  I can't remember if I used the 40-pin socket or not.  I'll check.

you can also use this one : http://www.instructables.com/id/Business-Card-PIC-Programmer/

You can use it to program in circuit so you dont have to keep swapping the pic out.
It works with ic-prog  ,  pony-prog etc.... to download you code
