Default How possible is it to remap Camera button?

Had an idea to remap the camera button into "mute" during calls, this way much easier to mute/unmute. I'm on conf calls alot so this would be a great feature. So question is how difficult would it be to re-map it?

This is due to ChompSMS, you can turn it off in settings.

And to the OP, does ANYONE use search anymore?!?! I already have this mod made already. You can remap any key to any other key. I have a full guide right here: [MOD] Remap Any Key on Your G1

EDIT: And OP, what your requesting will require seperate software. You can't make keys do magical things with this software, if there is already a hardware key for it you can change it with my mod. But to do what you are requesting is impossible without more software.

Geniusdog haha, you do realize the OP posted this in april of 2009? Even with a search, they wouldn't have found anything because your post was in august of 2009. I think its impulse for people to tell other people to search without reading everything in the OP first. haha. Anyway, good job with the remap
