I have done this with a balancer harness pigtail and some alligator clips.

I did buy this charger recently: http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...Charge_Capable

It charges each cell separately. Max output is about 1.8amps (on the 2 amp setting) and it charges to 4.16v. Perfect for getting a mixture of cells balanced out when building an oddball pack, or balancing out a pack with big voltage differences. For the price it is great, highly recommended.
