Change position of UIBarButtonItem in UINavigationBar

Question

How can I change the position of a UIBarButtonItem in a UINavigationBar? I would like my button to be about 5px higher than its normal position.

For those of you developing for iOS 5 who stumbled across this and were discouraged... Try something like this:

float my_offset_plus_or_minus = 3.0f;

UIBarButtonItem * item = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"title" 
                                                          style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone
                                                          target:someObject action:@selector(someMessage)];

[item setBackgroundVerticalPositionAdjustment:my_offset_plus_or_minus forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
