Tracking a BGP session with HSRP

Hi group,
 
Topology: 2 routers with a connection to two ISPs. Inside default gateway is a HSRP address.
 
For redundancy reasons i have configured HSRP with tracking. However, i would like to track a BGP session, not an
interface. The reason for this is clear: the BGP session can die, while the interface remains up. HSRP would not switch in this
case. Any ideas on how to accomplish this ?
 
- interface tracking - nope
- tracking with SAA (ping, TCP) - not really - i could track the possibility of TCP to the remote peer...but that is not the same as tracking the existing BGP session.
 
 
Regards,
Geert
