I too was looking at Andy's setup.  I don't already have a proper toping
lift but a spinnaker halyard made to the jaw seems like it would work.  How
you attach it depends on your pole's end fitting.  If no attachment fitting
exists then a lashing of dynema might work well to create a semi-perminent
eye.  You want to avoid using the jaw so that you can still trip the
sheet.  Make the halyard and fore-guy first, set the pole hieght.  Then use
the jaw to make the sheet.  Then make the mast.
