Sure.  PowerLoom is actually implemented directly in Stella and we 
normally write almost all of our PowerLoom code using Stella.  The 
interface functions for PowerLoom are found in the PLI module.  A few 
things that may be needed, especially Stella datatypes are in the LOGIC 
module.  You should be able to code directly in Stella, and then as 
long as you link the C++ library for PowerLoom into the final 
application, you should be able to have exactly what you want.
