I believe that HDirect allows you to do this. Unfortunately, I don't know of a binary build of a recent version, and I have yet to manage to build it myself :-(

Latest version is from January 2004, hierarchical library layout has changed a bit since then :( It doesn't compile for me, either. Anyway it seems to be a bit of overkill for what I want to do. I'm not aware of any other libraries to do this. Thanks for the pointer! Paul.
