The code of rootcint is available for you.
But I think you should not mix things.
RootCint generates the dictionary and doesn't change the one's C++
class definition and it reads the header files (*.h) only. It
is not designed to parse the class implemenation (namely *.cxx source
files) and this way it can insert in there no extra line (like
ClassImp).
From my point of view it is better to create some separate
"pre-processor" to generate your C++ as you want and feed the
RootCint.
