I've installed distcc in a chroot on a few boxes for people wanting to
speed up c/c++ compiles. Currently pitch, velvet, mussel and evil have it
installed, so just set DISTCC_HOSTS="pitch velvet mussel evil localhost"
and use distcc rather than gcc. The chroot should be fairly secure, about
the only possibly attack could be modifying the code which would be
returned to people - it would require a _lot_ of effort. It is currently
firewalled to UWA IPs only.
