[distcc] getting distcc to compile without localhost

[Chris Robison]

Ok, looks like this has been unnecessary.  The blank monitor output, 
(which started this whole adventure and all the second-guessing) appears 
to be a Gentoo problem, and a very old one at that:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/51616

As explained in that bug entry, by executing

DISTCC_DIR=/var/tmp/portage/.distcc distccmon-text 1

I get the correct output.  Sure enough, instead of fixing the problem, 
they put the step in their docs (which I had overlooked).
