Using ambient occlusion to mask materials?

Does anyone have a way to mask textures using ambient occlusion? I can think of some really long winded ways involving screen mapping but I would rather avoid that. I also want to avoid applying AO filters in post.
Cheers

any package that can bake (AO) maps onto geometry would be suitable.
so you would re-import the geometry with UVs unwrapped being on channel0, which will be your masking channel.

I will try that, thanks.
I really miss the option to plug things other than textures into the map slots!
