Martin, 
 
I'm assuming you are the right person to get in touch with, no links on  your webpage!  
Anyways, wanted to let you know that there is a new Gentoo link for setting up distcc with 
Cygwin.  You might want to update as the old links are all (or almost all) broken.  It's very 
comprehensive and updated often:

Addtionally, I'm keeping an up to date linux-cross.tar.bz2 around that is based on the latest 
and greatest toolchain for stable Gentoo.  Currently this is glibc-2.3.2 / gcc-3.2.3 / 
binutils-2.14.x.y.z(forgot) / distcc-2.8.  It has everything one needs in one spot allowing one 
to do a base cygwin install and a single untar and a /usr/local/bin/distcc.sh to be off and 
running.  I've also included the script to add distcc as a service.  It currently comes in at 
around 28MB (bit larger than the other 22MB option, but uses a proper toolchain and is 
i686-pc-linux-gnu).  It can be found @  
 
ftp://ftp.dympna.com/cross-linux-3.2.3.tar.bz2 
 
This probably isn't a good place to publish it as many people are having issues connecting to 
this ftp server, but it exists.  I'll be upgrading the cross-linux to distcc-2.9 tomorrow and 
re-rolling. 
 
Oh, and I'm looking forward to trying out the ,lzo as one of my host machines is my wife's 
laptop with distcc running as an XP service (so she'll never know!) but it's on 802.11b.
