I was looking at trying to do this, but kept running up against problems when
the C++ stuff was initialized before the underlying C stuff.  In addition
to putting the library code somewhere in that magicial 0-100 priority range,
we'd have to find some way of ensuring that the C library always goes first.

The first would be trivial.  The second... eek.
