It's been done, and it's not too difficult at all.  It would take
a few minutes to put all the appropriate stuff in all the appropriate
places to do it.  I've considered doing it in the next superpatch, but
haven't gotten to it yet.  Other than that, I don't know of any current
patches that make depth maps.
