​Realizing I've got heaps of room on this board, I've gone ahead and tweaked my choice of Flash memory.  In this case, I'm still doing SPI programming of the FPGA, though using a Spansion part (at least for prototypes...I'll try and cost this down for production).  The device I've chosen is S25FL216K0PMFI041.  Digikey showed the part at $0.39 however findchips shows Verical selling these for $0.31.  See:  http://www.findchips.com/search/s25fl216k0pmfi041

+1 - Documentation avail for connecting Spansion memory to Xilinx FPGAs. Not really rocket science but may help someone out. :)
