Animating Maxwell camera settings from within XSI?

Is it possible to animate the Maxwell camera setting e.g. shutter speed and f-stop from within XSI (via the Render Options PPG)?

Normally in XSI if a variable is animatible it will have a green 'divot' to the left of the parameter's name. None of the Maxwell options have this button. Is there a way round it?

I am currently rendering an interior and want to set XSI to render several frames (with the camera in different positions), the trouble is because of the lighting I need to change the shutter speed slightly in different locations. I'd love to set it going overnight instead of 'baby sitting' it and rendering each frame individually.

The parameters aren't animatable right now, but I'll try to make them animatable in the next release.

Thanks Mihnea, that would be really useful.
