Thankyou for the suggestion.  It is a good idea.

The main thing would be to add distcc to the logrotate configuration.

There is no support at the moment for distcc to reopen its log files,
so it would need to either write out through syslog, or be shut down
and restarted, or to gain the ability to reopen logs on say a SIGHUP.
