Is it possible to run lout without it writing to the file system?

When I run the following:

  piped input | lout -PDF | piped output

Lout writes to special files:

  -.ld
  lout.li

Is it possible to prevent this?

Being able to run lout without writing to the file system would be useful in situations such as the following:

  * When multiple instances of lout are running simultaneously, so that
    the various instances do not clobber each other.

  * When the generated pdf is used only once, for example, in web
    applications.
