You don't have to hunt around the source code to change that. Inside
the libraries, each function stand for itself. For instance, "print"
uses the standard I/O facilities (OK, the manual doesn't say that); if
you don't want that, all you have to do is to define your own "print"
function. The manual explains how to do that (i.e. how to define your
own functions).
