before calling mathlib_open, set up a "setglobal" tag method to redirect
all function definitions.

something like this:

  settagmethod(tag(nil),"setglobal", function (x,v) math[x]=v end)

after you're done, restore the old "setglobal" tag method.
if you want to keep the global names, add "rawsetglobal(x,v)" to the code above.
