[ccache] preprocessing with -P

Dear friends,
first of all, thanks a lot for ccache, it is really a great utility!
I've produced a little patch which allows to get object file from cache,
if the only change is the include path (but not the include itself).
Stripping -I from the hashing is not enough: you have to run the
preprocessor with -P option, otherwise you will get the full include
path in the preprocessed source, making the stripping useless.
If you find it a good idea, please include it (at least as an option!)
in your sourcetree, so I can avoid to use a patched one. If you think it
is not a good idea, please discuss why, as I'm really very interested in
your opinion about it.

Anyway, here it is:
