Probably not, although that's a pretty good idea :-) You would have to
patch into the system libraries and watch for writes.
It probably isn't too difficult; however you'd want to buffer it somehow
so that you didn't get trashing betwee trying to write to two destinations
at the same time.
And of course everything would slow down :-)
