Making Blizzard UI frame "transparent" to the mouse?

how would one go about hijacking an existing Blizzard UI frame (or any other frame, really) and rendering it completely transparent to the mouse?

the old Eclipse library (mentioned here) apparently did this (and i am happy to reverse-engineer stuff), but i cannot find any record of this library on Google or any of the main addon sites.

looking at other addons, it appears Frame:EnableMouse() and various "OnClick"/etc hooks might be relevant (and Button:RegisterForClicks() maybe not so relevant, not generally for frames), but i was hoping someone could point me directly to some documentation and/or an example (so i don't have to do a ton of trial/error).

thanks.
