[distcc] Distcc log files

[Dag Wieers]

Hi,

Analysing something in the distccd logfile yesterday I noticed the 
following improvements may speed up problem determination ;)

  + Timestamps, when using --log-file there are no timestamps.
  + A lot is logged that I'd rather omit by default as the more lines a 
    compile-job takes, the less you can see and the more dificult it is to 
    have an overview

And since it is always better to have an example, here is mine ;))

	distccd[3845] (dcc_check_client) connection from 10.15.0.11:33210
	distccd[3845] compile from conftest.c to conftest.o
	distccd[3845] (dcc_r_file_timed) 86312 bytes received in 0.022197s, rate 3797kB/s
	distccd[3845] (dcc_collect_child) cc times: user 0.090000s, system 0.010000s, 621 minflt, 836 majflt
	distccd[3845] i386-redhat-linux-gcc-2.96 on localhost completed ok
	distccd[3845] job complete

I'd make a distinction between 3 phases

	1. Connection
	2. Compile start
	3. Compile end

So the default log may say something like:

	Jul 31 04:17:19 distccd[3845] Connection: lisse.local.blah:33210
	Jul 31 04:17:20 distccd[3845] Input: conftest.c (86312 bytes in 0.022197s at 3797kB/s)
	Jul 31 04:17:23 distccd[3845] Output: conftest.o (using i386-redhat-linux-gcc-2.96) OK

Of course the details may differ but I'd output a lot less by default (so 
without explicitly adding debugging flags). And of course if things fail 
something in the same spirit.

Thanks ;)
