That's great!  Thankyou.

Can I ask you to do a couple of things:

 - Put the version number into the tarfile name so that it is obvious
   to people who are downloading it.  In particular I want to avoid
   people in the future accidentally downloading old versions....

 - To comply with the terms of the GNU GPL under which distcc is
   licenced, you *must* include a copy of the GPL in your installable
   package.  (For example into /usr/local/share/doc/distcc/COPYING.)

I would prefer if you could include the manpages and other
documentation as well.  

Did you need to make any changes other than just compiling it?

I'd be happy to add a link if you could address these couple of
issues.
