   Another twist on this would be to whip up a simple shell script
that dumps the needed information out as entity declarations (similar
to what Adam does above), then use shell I/O redirection (at least in
bourne shells and the like) to direct the output of this script in to
an unused descriptor (like 5) for Jade, then use a System Identifier
like "<osfd>5" to access it.
   I'm afraid I don't have time to work up an example right now, but
I'll try to do one soon.
