[xmonad] Using conky as the main status bar -- possible?

Hello, Story cut short: I'd like to save a few pixels and get rid of xmobar, and use conky for various tasks. Is this possible such that I can use dynamicLogWithPP and redirect relevat stuff to conky? There would be some issues ahead: for instance, how conky handles stdin. I googled and googled and nothing came up; most of the users like to use conky to output information to dzen. Conky with Lua works well if I help it a little with Haskell in xmonad.hs :) Thanks for answers, -- Mikael
