Add os/arch/compiler/compiler-version support.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Ideally, distcc would know about the os, arch, compiler and the
compiler-version needed to do the compilation job.

This would prevent ABI problems between versions of GCC, allow you to use
all CPU power on the network (regardless of arch or os), and make
cross-compiling much easier.

In my case, I have a project that must be compiled on:
win32, win64, sparc, x86-32bit, and x86-64bit.

To make ideal use of these 5 boxes, I would put distcc on all 5 boxes with
all 5 compilers.

Ciao!

This can be done by using an absolute path to the compiler, e.g. 

 pump make CC="distcc /usr/local/cross-compilers/win32/gcc/4.2.4/bin/gcc"

and on the servers setting the "numwords" variable in 
/etc/distcc/commands.allow.sh,
e.g. to 5, so that win32/gcc/4.2.4/bin/gcc will be distinguished from
win64/gcc/4.2.4/bin/gcc.
