Good stuff!
I've had similar success with IC-Prog using the Jaycar Serial PIC kit
Programmer (a JDM/Ludipudo clone), under Debian linux.
A relief after frustrating failures with NoPPP (for want of the right
diodes, as I learned later).

Thank goodness IC-Prog isn't lumbered with esoteric windows baggage.
I was pleasantly surprised when its installer ran perfectly under wine,
and the app runs without any problems.

Also, a quick RTFM reveals some command line args, allowing it to be
wrapped in a shell (or <your-favourite-scripting-language>) script.
Here's my script, which I've called 'burnpic'.
(change for your environment)
#! /bin/sh
echo "Attempting to burn file $1 into PIC"
wine /path/to/icprog.exe -l$1 -p -i -t16F873A -gJDM -q
echo "icprog has terminated"
Usage: burnpic somefile.hex
Providing your image has valid config and id bytes, you won't get
hassled by any popup messageboxes, so the script can be used in a Makefile.
