Emulating lathe compound angle via manipulation of X & Z drives

Axis GUI for a lathe, using Mesa 
I have servos driving the X (cross slide), and Z (carriage) all working.
I also have MPG to manipulate X & Z.
I have removed my compound to make the lathe more rigid, with the rationale that I can emulate the compound via correct step pulse generation of the X & Z drives via the MPG.

Has someone done this?
HAL example?

Thank you

Thank you, and this is what I love about LinuxCNC, it seems that whatever somewhat custom idea you dream up LinuxCNC has the handle to make it happen. It's a tinkerer's  candy store.

I need a little assistance with anglejog please.
I added anglejog to the real time thread so I can see the parameters in HAL.
I was hoping to just do a little test jog from HAL before connecting coscounts and sincounts to the servos in HAL.
However both those outputs seem to have really large numbers. Please see attached.
is there anything obvious that I'm doing wrong?
