[distcc] distcc and cachecc1

[Aris Basic]

one thing i noticed when using cachecc1 with distcc is that distcc doesnt 
support some arguments cachecc1 is using for gcc -ifgcc3=<checksum> that 
maybe cachecc1 argument or something.
But distcc with a cachecc1 integrated (optionaly) would be a nice thing :)
