It's supposed to work that way. But mine won't compile.
I have not tried out Ingmar's solution with 1.6.3 yest, but I did manage to get the whole thing working, Windows 7 32-bit), and a pre-canned version of 1.6.1. Just scroll down to the comments here:

Of course, ideally what Ingmar suggested would be a better option as it is Arduino IDE version-independant, and one can use the latest.
