A few people have asked me to post a summary of responses to this.
Unfortunately, there appears to be no way to do this... according to
Chris Love of the Epoch Development Team (love@cs.uiuc.edu)

I have not tried xse (we don't have FTP access, therefore we don't have
xse). Anyone care to try it and post the results?
