I want to add a LiPo rechargeable battery backup to an existing RTC circuit, but I can't alter the preexisting circuit. Basically, the regulator, D2 and RTC (Existing Circuit) are all fixed and can not be reconfigured. All I have to work with is a power and ground connection which I can get 5V-Vf(diode) from. Obviously a diode, as shown, isn't enough, since the battery will also supply the charger when the supply is off:

I know this can be done with a MOSFET, but unfortunately my theory there is a bit weak still. What type of MOSFET would I need and how would I hook it up? (Or if you have a good idea for which charger IC can feed power back, that would be welcome as well.)
A bit of detail for the curious/if required: This will be attached to a M68HC11EVBU (yes yes, you can stop laughing) on P3 to supply power to the onboard MC68HC68T1. I will put a diode at D3 and cut the trace but solder a wire at D4 so that power can get to the circuit in question. Section 6.4 of the EVBU datasheet has the schematic; the supply is on the first page of figure 6-2 (page 98), and the RTC is on the third page (page 100).
