Jeez, I sense some hostility on misc@.  Andreas, It's a nice effort,

but unfortunately, it won't support the goals of f2k7.  The most

important lacking thing for the hackathon is fast, memory-packed

machines, and lots of disks.  AKA, modern expensive, top of the

line stuff.  It seems to me that developers just don't have that

stuff lying around (hence their asking for it.) If these machines

were avaliable, distcc would see a lot of diminishing returns.

However, without the hardware for f2k7, nothing is getting off the

ground.
It seems to me like you want to help.  Distcc sadly is a band-aid

for this gaping wound.  So, perhaps if you have a few large disks

lying around you could donate/loan them?
