Have you folks seen/tried this...
<http://distcc.samba.org/>
"distcc is a program to distribute compilation of
C or C++ code across several machines on a network.
distcc should always generate the same results as a
local compile, is simple to install and use, and is
often two or more times faster than a local compile.
distcc does not require all machines to share a
filesystem, have synchronized clocks, or to have the
same libraries or header files installed. Machines
can be running different operating systems, as long
as they have compatible binary formats or
cross-compilers."
It even works (according to the docs) with ccache,
so it shouldn't recompile anything it doesn't need
too.
Apparently it also compiles OOTB for cygwin, so if
no-one beats me to this I'll try and package it up
in the next few weeks.
