[Documentation, possibly for the main README] llama versus distcc #19

I noticed your comment, linked in via reddit recently.

You mentioned distcc. I think this is where many users may have the question what sets llama apart from distcc; or conversely, why use llama rather than distcc. In particular when it comes to inertia to change, they may prefer to stick to distcc even if it is inferior, simply because they know it better (or for some other reasons). It would be nice if the main README, or some other document, could mention differences and use cases. Does not have to be long, a medium paragraph should easily suffice.

PS: And the name is also peculiar, could explain the name "llama". Though that could perhaps go into a FAQ or wiki.

Likewise, a comparison to gg would be helpful; it looks less polished, but it doesn't seem "not widely accessible at present"?
