[distcc] compilation refusal on excessive load.

[Victor Norman]

Rob,

My DMUCS system does just what you want -- it gives out a compilation host only
if it is not overloaded.  Check it out, and if you want more information about
it contact me -- I'll be thrilled to help with installation issues, questions,
etc.
