On that subject, has anyone tried merging Apple's patches?  The source 
is up now that they've released 10.3...

http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/tarballs/other/distcc-17.tar.gz

The changes are pretty significant, I'd hoped to merge them into 2.11.2 
for the Fink package, so we'd play nice with apple's xcode distcc, but I 
don't understand the changes enough to feel comfortable merging them in...

Are there plans to have the zeroconf code get back into the upstream 
version?

            of scraps of paper
