For the default compiler includes, see include_server/compiler_defaults.py.

Here's some of the command-line parsing code.  In src/args.c,
dcc_scan_args(), and indeed most of the functions in that file.
In src/serve.c, tweak_arguments_for_server() and the functions that it
calls.  dcc_talk_to_include_server() is where it computes the input files.
Feel free to refactor this code.

The simplest way to navigate the source code, by the way, is to run "make
tags" (or just run "ctags src/*.[ch]")
and then use the "tags" feature of your editor (e.g. vim or emacs) to follow
the call chain starting at main() in distcc.c (for the distcc client) or
daemon.c (for distccd).

Cheers,
   Fergus.
