I don't think I ever said it was easy.  It's possible though.

PLIB wasn't ever designed to do this - so it's not a simple
mechanism and it's not documented - if you want to do it, you'll
*HAVE* to read the PPE sources.

I'm sorry if that's not convenient - but like I said, PLIB wasn't
designed with this kind of thing in mind.
