Thanks.  You can see that I used to have a more portable version, but
I think I broke it.

OK.

The argument parser is slightly gcc-specific and might need to be
changed if you want to use distcc to call Sun cc (rather than Sun cc
to build distcc.)  It may be possible to make the parser conservative
enough to handle both or work out which is which; failing that some
kind of mode switch might be needed.
