Okay, that is much more clear.

Any chance you can just specify the Cygwin distcc package as a
prerequisite and drop it from your package? Or, is yours installed to
something like /usr/local... I'm just worried about our packages
overwriting each other if we both distribute distcc.
What do you think of me including your script? Is it robust? Was it
based off the ssh-host-config script? I have no idea how much is
involved in such a script. If you tell me it is 5 lines, then I will
stop bugging you and add it... I just want to know if it is 50 lines and
will take some time to review.

Nothing wrong with that :)
That's actually a pretty cool idea for a small to medium office with
Windows desktops.
