I think there might be a better way. Recently purchased an ICD 2 clone
and set MPLAB to work with PBP. Its take a little work and some careful
instructions (not to mention it was little hard to find), but give this site
a try. I think its what your looking for.

Look towards the bottom of the page there will be link that will
take you to a site that walks you through the procedure of how
to make PBP and MPLAB work together (which also let us the ICD2).

Hope this helps
