Would it be possible (easy?) to make up an emissions tester using a lambda sensor and a laptop?

Has anyone done this? Are there any programmes out there to download onto a laptop? What electronic circuit would be needed? Is it worth it - are there any cheap testers out there?

I'm looking at porting my own cylinder head for my MPi mini. These are known to have problems passing the MOT when modified. I'd rather have the ability to check the emissions without repeatedly going through an MOT! (And it'll be handy if I could check the mixture while driving, i.e. make sure its not running too lean at high revs / wide throttle openings etc)

Cheers
