Way to program boards wireless with the ESP8266

Is there a programmer that can be selected to program, say an Arduino, via the ESP8266? 

Where do I begin to create a (SIMPLE) programmer driver to achieve such a result?

Thanks!

Maybe take a look at the "Arduino as ISP" programmer and reverse engineer to the esp8266.

Alternatively you could look at a how an xbee can be configured to send a reset and then serial upload to an Arduino and try something similar. 

I don't know much about the esp9266 so I am not sure how much flexibility it has.

There are also programs that can create a virtual serial port on a network connection. Not sure if that will help or not, but might.
