We just got a full Synopsis kit here-- I dunno if it has Verilog support
though. (Synopsis always seemed to license ABEL-HDL for low end stuff.)

22V10's are about $2.65 in small qty from JDR or Jameco. Atmel is making a
cheap one now based on their flash technology. When we were looking at it
it was around $.40 (!) in 10K/mo quantity. I don't know if we'll use it or
not though so I may or may not be able to get some pretty cheap...
