How do you pass an object to a windsor container instead of a type?

Question

I have the following class:

public class ViewPage<TView,TPresenter> : Page 
 where TView : IView
 where TPresenter : Presenter<TView>
{
 public ViewPage()
 {
  if (!(this is TView))
   throw new Exception(String.Format("The view must be of type {0}", typeof(TView)));

  IWindsorContainer container = new WindsorContainer();
  container.AddComponent("view", typeof(IView), typeof(TView));
  container.AddComponent("presenter", typeof(Presenter<TView>), typeof(TPresenter));
  TPresenter presenter = container[typeof(TPresenter)] as TPresenter;
 }
}

and this is the Presenter code:

public class Presenter<T> where T : IView
{
 public T View { get; private set; }

 public Presenter(T view)
 {
  this.View = view;
 }
}

I'd like to pass the current instance of ViewPage to TPresenter via Windsor instead of having it instantiate a new object. Is this possible?
