As far as I know, that's not possible. However, you may want to 
experiment with cutting up the donut polygons into smaller, simple, 
polygons. I've created a custom transformer that sort-of does that (it 
works okay with small donuts, but if you get really intricate donuts and 
multiple-donuts-within-a-donut, it gets lost...

Hope this helps.
