No. Any non-trivial use of wave will involve system-headers, meaning wave needs
to be told system include paths and predefined macros, to effectively emulate
the system compiler (or, the compiler that bjam would use on that system).

The synopsis project (http://synopsis.fresco.org/) uses wave in its development
branch as preprocessor, and it provides some code to query the necessary info
from available compilers, so wave is able to process system headers without
any additional manual intervention.
