Yes, it is possible. But I wonder if this is really what you want. Many 
strange files may be left in $TMPDIR. 

You can easily emulate this mode by following procedure. (UNIX only)

 1) Edit $ROOTDIR/cint/MAKEINFO,  so that preprocessor is a simple 'cat'
   CPPPREP = cat
   CPREP   = cat

 2) At root prompt, type following command
   root[0]  #pragma preprocess

Source files are copied into temp directory and cint reads it. 
Before making the change, I'd like you to try this and give me your opinion. 
If you are happy with this, I'll setup an option to do the equivalent.
