Emulating lathe compound angle via manipulation of X & Z drives

Axis GUI for a lathe, using Mesa 
I have servos driving the X (cross slide), and Z (carriage) all working.
I also have MPG to manipulate X & Z.
I have removed my compound to make the lathe more rigid, with the rationale that I can emulate the compound via correct step pulse generation of the X & Z drives via the MPG.

Has someone done this?
HAL example?

Thank you

Thank you, and this is what I love about LinuxCNC, it seems that whatever somewhat custom idea you dream up LinuxCNC has the handle to make it happen. It's a tinkerer's  candy store.
