I think I have a two-page description somewhere...  I've written it
after I got fed up with explaining the procedure time and again.  :-) 
For those without the proper Slavistic skills, the pronounciation
could be approximated to Hurvoye, with the accent being on `ur' and
`e' being clearly heard.  For bonus points, replace `ur' with rolled
r, as in Italian.

Not a bad idea!  "Hello, I am Hrvoje Nikšić and I pronounce Iks-Emaks."
:-)
