Joe, didn't you try the AVR Butterfly, at $19.99 from Digi-key?

Yes (though I got mine through the kindness of Dennis Clark).

If so, what was your experience programming that, regards available tools and
development environments?

I never managed to get anywhere with it. I even posted to the avrfreaks
forum, but nobody there had much in the way of specific advice. But to
be fair, I was extremely short on both time and money at the time, so I
was attempting to use the bootloader but lacked sufficient time to
figure out how to do so.

Now that I've got an AVR-ISP2 on the way, I'll probably get the
butterfly out again. And once I've figured out how to program it with
that, I may take another stab at the bootloader. Especially considering
that I think I have brickedthe Coridium ARMmite board I was planning to
use as the brain of my firefighting bot...

Best,
