And then the lightbulb appeared above my head:

One method is to write your own basic I/O library, a subset of libc.
Export MYputs(), sprintf(), MYprintf(), and anything else you think
plugin authors might need, and document what you export.

If you have any other questions, the DLX maintainer would most likely
be glad to help.
