OK, now we are talking :-)

I had tried out this before.. and rejected it because I at that moment
wasn't able to capture output from child-processes.
In this *huge* discussion I realized that Kernel#fork can be overloaded
so that I will be able to capture child output.
I was blind, but now I can see :-)


overloading all output functions:
Which methods do I have to overload, if I want to capture all output ???
fork, system, backquote...  how about %x(doom3), rb_warn
