Right.
I've started working on putting all reusable thing from Driver directory
into a separated library called driver. (in my opinion every app's dir name
should be same as app name. clang (ordinary local driver),
distclangserver(distcc server), distclang(distcc client)). The dist app
names should be more simple if anyone can suggest greatet descriptive names.
:)
About supporting other compilers by distributed clang: Ted, please describe
you ideas, because i have no idea what's the point of this thing.

I'd like to put these things into the driver lib: almost everything from
Driver dir and some functions from clang.cpp.
