wxInputStream/wxOutputStream to C++ i/ostream delegation

Greetings,
I am trying to write a wrapper around wxProcess to implement an existing
interface in my codebase which looks like the following:
class IProcess
{
public:
virtual void setWaitTimeout(int milliseconds) = 0;
virtual void start(const string& exe, const vector<string>& args) = 0;
virtual ostream& in() = 0;
virtual istream& out() = 0;
virtual int getExitCode() = 0;
virtual void close() = 0;
};
The methods
virtual ostream& in() = 0;
virtual istream& out() = 0;
pose a problem as I am not sure whether it is possible to delegate the
wxInput/OutputStream classes to istream and ostream, respectively.
Essentially, I need to return a std::ostream and a std::istream which
forward their stream I/O requests to their wx counterparts. I have read
the wx documentation for the streams and it appears that the streams
were created due to compatibility issues across multiple implementations
of the C++ standard library. This is not a problem for our project, so
I'm not concerned about that. Any help with this would be greatly
appreciated.
