Re: distributed compile is avaliable?

[Noel Yap]

IIRC, there's a patch for GNU make (pmake?) that enables distributed builds.  
I'm not sure how up-to-date this is, though, and I've never tried it out myself.

IMO, and no offense, Ken, distcc isn't great since:
- it's limited to C and C++.
- preprocessing is done locally which offsets much of the advantages of 
distributing the build.
