Possible to animate box-shadow?

I've tried a variety of ways to animate the CSS box-shadow property and have been having hit or miss success. Can jQuery animate the box-shadow yet and if so, anyone have code? I noticed a plugin that does this but it seems to get down into the bowels of JavaScript and manipulate and extend jQuery in ways that i don't want to get into.

I know that there's the box-shadow, -moz-box-shadow, and -webkit-box-shadow properties available, and to use them in jQuery they'd be BoxShadow, MozBoxShadow, and WebKitBoxShadow, but anytime I animate them I lose my initial CSS box shadow settings. More importantly I haven't found a way to manipulate some of the box shadow properties without modifying them all. In other words, I'd also like to animate just the x-offset without having to specify the entire box shadow string every time.

I assumed that this might be related to animating the border-radius CSS property and read a thread on stackoverflow about how to animate that, but it doesn't seem to extend as readily to the box shadow as I had hoped.
