Programming non-EPCS serial flashes?

I've got a non-EPCS serial flash hooked up to my Cyclone, and I'm wondering if Altera provides some way to use any of their flash programmers with generic flash chips. I heard noises a year ...

Thanks for the responses, but I'm not looking for a drop-in replacement for an EPCS; that configuration would still only allow a single firmware image.

Has anyone heard anything from Altera about the Nios Flash Programmer supporting arbitrary flashes by allowing you to build your own firmware? Failing that, does anyone have the source to the Nios Flash Programmer firmware ROM?
