[distcc] Multi CPU machines

[Jean-Eric Cuendet]

Thanks, but the patch is corrupted at the URL.
Could you resend it to me?
Thanks.
 
This patch is a solution to send more than one job at each CPU. But the solution should go beyond that.
I think that the dispatch should be completely dynamic. I see our dev environment being composed of dev machines for developpers and compile farms to speedup the compilation. These machines should be loaded with compilation from all the developers at the same time, when they run compilation.
But then, the spawned jobs should be sent depending on the current load of each compilation server.
This could be achieved if the server send an average of its load before/after each compilation sent.
How hard would it be to modify the distcc code so the server send the client the laodavg?
