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.
