FWIW, Lattice has a set of free-for-the-download tools, though I'm not
sure anymore what's in them. (I started with that and have been
gradually moving up thanks to paying for the "software maintenance"
contract, which wasn't particularly expensive, and it seems that every
upgrade I get is more powerful than what I had before...) Those chips
are pretty nice in that they have the programming data on-chip and
non-volatile.

Yup, that's an issue alright. It certainly is true for the Lattice
tools I have.
