Is there a way to pretokenise PHP scripts?

No.  The pretokenizing was a failed attempt at a performance gain, and
has not been maintained.

PHP4/Zend will allow you to purchase a compiler that will create
distributable binaries that offer the functionality most people want
when they ask for pretokenizing:  Code-hiding and performance.

Actually, I'm not sure you'll even have to pay anything for the
redistributable compiler:  Maybe only the optimizer.  See
http://www.zend.com to verify.
