It can actually be done by a manufacturer. I'm using the Microchip 
dsPIC and I've been very impressed by the Microchip user forums on 
their web site. Philips has tried this themselves, but their version 
isn't a patch on Microchip's, and simply doesn't work. I think that 
Microchip's site is successful because of the way they have broken it 
down into categories for the various chip families and tools. I've had 
a much more rapid response from other users on the forums with my 
queries than I've had by posting them officially to Microchip support.
