[distcc] On Style - the hosts file

[Jean Delvare]

Hi all,

Quoting myself:

> gamma/2r

On second though, randomization is an option and there is already a
syntax for options, so the following would probably be cleaner:

localhost/1
alpha/4,random
beta/4,random
gamma/2,random

Doesn't change much, it's really just a matter of syntax.

Thanks,
