[sldev] How can I use distcc outside LL?

I got an answer inworld.  This message is for a record.

The current develop.py *does* support distcc outside LL, although we
need to specify it in a strange way.

What we need to do to use distcc is to pass an environment variable
CXX containing distcc command prefix when invoking develop.py, e.g.,

    CXX="distcc i386-redhat-linux-g++" python develop.py configure

The generated makefiles always use distcc, then.

This is just an execuse, but I was confused to see a lot of
distcc-specific codes and an option (--no-distcc) in develop.py and to
find that all those distcc features are only for LL developpers...
