Not that I have seen.

Off the cuff, what you want to do probably is not possible without 
modifying the Android OS in firmware. Once Android is released as open 
source, you hopefully will be able to see what is needed, implement the 
changes, and propose them as patches to be considered for a future 
version of Android.
