A recent Popular Photography had an article about street photographers
in Havana who do pretty much this. They have homemade setups. They expose
onto B&W printing paper, develop. Then they take a second exposure of that.
At the intermediate stage they can alter the picture, for example by 
adding a picture of Che Guevara into your picture.
