Of course. The framework for doing this should indeed be an independent project with specific implementations for each target compiler. I thought of a small program taking the error output of the C++ compiler as its input and run it optionally as a part of the build process. It could also sensibly used off-site with nothing but the C++ error list. The general idea probably works with any kind of C++ pre-compiler, not only ODB. I'd expect that it will reduce the support costs as much as it enables the application developers to understand the real nature of the problem in almost no time.
