if you dont control the application how are you going to do anything
about it anyway?  If you do control the app then just call the libraries
to do the shredding or make a system call to shred or write your own
shred routine.

But keep in mind that on journalling file systems and most modern
filesystems the shred command is not 100% effective since the OS may
move the file without your knowing about it.
