The more modern OOPic chips can be programmed with a serial cable
including USB->Serial.
Those versions of OOPic that can only be programmed with a parallel
cable have probably reached their end of life.
It wouldn't be hard to get a USB BitWacker to program the EEPROM. I
just used one of those to make an SPI based PlayStation controller
look like a serial port. There would need to be a Visual Basic (or C,
C++, whatever) program to grab the OOPic compiler output and send it
out the VCOM serial port.
Easy enough to do but time consuming for little gain. After all, the
older chips don't have nearly as many objects.

Apparently, PonyProg can also program the EEPROM
http://www.lancos.com/prog.html but I don't know if it can do it
in-circuit.
In any event, EEPROM programming would be external to the OOPic IDE.
