I'm not that familiar with Fortran under Unix, but assuming that the
Fortran compiler uses the same standard underlying Unix file handles
for its "standard output", you should be able to open a new file or
pipe, and then dup2() the new handle onto handle 1 (stdout) and/or 2
(stderr) to redirect the Fortran module output.  dup() the old
descriptor first if you want to restore things afterwards.
