Yes - that is what I thought of initially. This shouldn't be  
difficult and would probably work well without breaking things in  
many other places as Ullrich was afraid of (unless I am again unaware  
of something). Still this would be indeed "special treatment" rather  
than generic approach. I don't know how (un)common this kind of  
special treatment would be when compared to other compilers/platforms  
though. What made me re-start this thread was that I found the  
required code already implemented for cputc() (and others) and  
wondered why not for the POSIXish functions?
