Download KR from the Garnet system, they have a million backdoors like 
that. :)

What's the big picture on this? Maybe there is a way to do it without an 
alley-oop.

If you sell me on the need, and you can at least start the slot as 
c-input, I imagine there is some way to do this.

If you do not sell me on the need, I will still give you some pointers* 
on how to mess up the beauty of Cells yourself.:) But I think you will 
still need to start with a c-input, or you will lose the dependencies 
(Cells does not record dependencies on slots not mediated by Cells.)

* Look at c-install, md-awaken, c-awaken-cell, and their neighbors.
