[ROOT] CINT filename extensions

Hi!

Our system takes a C++ sourcefile, copies it to a tempfile (the
filename is generated using tempnam()) and then ask cint to load the
files with G__loadfile().

Usually this works fine, but once in a while cint will say "Error:
cannot open /MAKEINFO".  This happens only when the tempfile happens
to contain a dot (.)! for example: "/users/chris/tmp/scripAAAI.bpY_".
So I think this happened because cint tries to recognize the filename
extension. (even thought it is just a random string)

I know cint needs to look at the filename extension in order to know
if the file is a sourcefile or a precompiled dll. As it is now, I
don't need cint to load dlls at runtime. Would it be possible to tell
cint (at compilation time) that *all* filenames (no matter what
extension) are source files?

Thanks!
