Provide an option in distcc pump mode to use the dependency list generated by other tools #67

This is a feature request.

Many project building tools like cmake, ant, make or make based custom tools 
provide use dependency generators to figure out whether to rebuild an object 
file or not.

make based tools use gcc -MM and cmake uses a recursive grep based approach. 
However, this information can also be passed to distcc instead of distcc (pump 
mode) trying to figure out the list of files/dependencies to be transferred to 
the machine for compilation.

Distcc should then turn of its dependency calculator and honor the list 
received from the user.
