That's where the "right massaging" I was referring to comes in.
Basically it acquires a temp FILE* by wildly duplicating file handles
(OS and runtime) and then slips that under the hoods of the io library
into the right slots. Then it executes a piece of script and finally
reassigns the old FILE* handles.
It's a half-ugly hack and may not be stable in all environments and
platforms but so far it works. Good luck.
