[distcc] Cygwin Status

[darryl]

Here's a little overview of how i built the cross-complier(s)

---------------------

I use 3 cygwin based distcc machines for linux build targets.
It's a pain to build a cross-compiler but once you build
one you just kinda can follow the routine for the other
machines.
