There's already an open-source compiler for the PIC C18 series called SDCC. The problem is that (unless I'm mistaken) the library format used by MCC18 is not compatible with SDCC, and you need to compile in the IFI Library to make a functional executable for the RC. Now, with the work Kevin Watson has done to port to C18 v3.0 you might be able to take advantage of the fact that the libraries are now in COFF format and maybe SDCC supports those directly or else it's probably not out of the question to write a converter that would convert the library to a SDCC-compatible one. However, as others have pointed out this very well could be the last year of dealing with PICs and C18 anyway so maybe it's not worth it.
