I wonder if you could really do that. After all you would do an
estimation ignoring heteroscedasticity in the returns which biases the
parameter estimates. If you include the exogenous in the mean equation
of a garch model then you take conditional heteroscedasticity into
account. This is easy to do in most commercial software (e.g. EViews,
RATS etc.)
