Is it possible to run Native C++ code in Windows Azure?

I have an application written in native C++ which intends intensive computation. In fact I'm interested only in result of computation, i.e. it can be done without GUI or be controlled by some .Net service/application.

Can I run it in Microsoft's Cloud? How can I do it?

You have to configure your worker role to enableNativeCodeExecution though, but that's fair, don't you think? ;)
