Adapt a point and shoot camera

Has anybody converted a point and shoot digicamera to a prime focus camera?

It seems to me that a cheap second hand camera of about 4 Mp could have the lens removed and then have a homemade adaptor made to fit it to the focuser. A 'rough enough' adaptor could even be made from say PVC tube, etc, and glued onto the camera.
This would be a cheap way of ending up with the equivalent of an expensive DSLR camera.
There must be one that is easy to convert, has anybody found it?
