Code:
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
////                       AppForTiny.H                                ////
////  For CCS-PICCC (PIC C Compiler) by Matias                         ////
////  This include file must be included by any application that       ////
////  is going to be loaded by Tinybootloader (checked in VER 1.91).   ////
////                                                                   ////
////  Tinybootloader 1.9 relocate the reset and interrupt automatically////
////  You have only to reserve space for the bootloader.                ////
////                                                                   ////
////  Probably you'll have problems configuring fuses (especially      ////
////  Code Protect). Modify the ASM file of the bootloader with MPLAB  ////
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#define MAX_FLASH 0x8000 //for PICs with 32KB of mem

#define LOADER_SIZE   0xFF   //tinybld size + a bit more (200 bytes is enough)

#org MAX_FLASH-LOADER_SIZE , MAX_FLASH-1 void boot_loader(void) {}

I have used Tiny Bootloader heavily with 18F452 straight on, without any workarounds in the C code. Just compiled and wrote the resulting hex with the host program. Nothing more. Your solution is indeed useful if the program is large and would overwrite the bootloader, in this case the compiler would issue an error.

As an improvement, you can use the getenv() function to define the flash size automatically for any chip:
Code:
#define MAX_FLASH getenv("PROGRAM_MEMORY")
