I am afraid there is none.  Rcpp::Rcout is a trick to fold 'our' output into
R's; there is no trick to fold the system output.

One trick may be to ... use the library as an external object that you link
to.  That way CRAN won't check the library code as part of the submission
(but if it is a custom/complicated library you may have the problem of
getting onto CRAN build servers -- I am currently for libhiredis to make it
onto the win-builder / CRAN windows build side of things.

But barring that you may need to change all std::cout instances (and yes,
I've done that once too).
