well im testing distcc on some packages and im just running make -j N.  my
path is setup like this:

$ export PATH=/usr/lib/distcc/bin:$PATH

including distcc install dir in PATH doesnt make any difference either, eg:

$ export PATH=/usr/lib/distcc/bin:/usr/local/distcc/bin:$PATH

compiling with just 

$ make CC="distcc" CXX="distcc g++" -j N

works just fine (without the masquerade dir of course), but as the docs say,
it does not always work.  i've setup distcc to speed up qt and kde
compiles, qt compiles well, but kde fails.
