RFE: Add distcc & ccache support into DP infrastructure

[lists@…]

It would be nice to add ccache and distcc functionality into DarwinPorts. I'm not sure if you could simply use the distcc with rendezvous/bonjour built into Xcode or if you'd have to include this patch. These would certainly be nice enhancements for the build system and if some project such as Port Authority could add a check mark box in the preferences to allow/disallow the usage of these it would be quite handy for users.

"compiler.gcc" made this one more important, as it is now ignoring "gcc" by default and hardcoding "/usr/bin/gcc-4.0" - thereby bypassing any installed ccache, and making compiles take much longer

macports-ccachedistcc.patch

probably needs a matching setting in macports.conf too, but here is the compiler filtering.

This has been taken care of too. Closing the ticket.
