improvements (Gentoo specific) to distcc zeroconf support

distcc's got zeroconf support
That is cool!

However, there are problems (althouth not everyone got these problems).
One of them is that if you have multiple version of gcc's or even
cross compilers, distcc clients can't discover them, since distccd will
only register your current active gcc.
And if you want to change your native compiler's version, you must
restart distccd in order to let it take effect.

Having multiple gcc's may not be common in other distribution, but
this is common in gentoo.
This is what I have on my x86 notebook:
gcc-config -l
[1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.3.1 *
[2] mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-4.3.0-alpha20080731
[3] mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-4.3.1
[4] mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-4.4.0-alpha20080718 *
[5] mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-4.4.0-alpha20080801
[6] powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-4.2.3 *

So I made a little patch:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233843

Hope there will be a distcc-2.18.3-r14 or distcc-3.0_rc4 in tree soon, ;)

This is great! I talked to Lennart about that earlier and he thought it would be a great idea. He just wasn't in the need for it so he left it out.

Thanks for doing this patch!!!!!

cool, thanks a lot !

do you have already a distcc-3 ebuild or would you help me writing one ?
I haven´t looked very close to the code of the prereleases yet but apparently it shouldn´t be that hard.

Maybe also a good point to include your patch and get feedback from users ;-)

thanks !

portage-2.2 preserve-libs FEATURES explained

Maybe I am not the right person to write about it. But I felt the necessity to write about it. So I will just write something about preserve-libs, leaving other FEATURES to more competent people. Portage-2.2 has already entered unstable tree. Many people has started using it. It has many new features, like preserve-libs, sets, license filter and so on. Please check README and RELEASE-NOTES for a complete list. I will only talk about preserve-libs. To understand why we need it, we have to know some background information. First of all, applications are not built from scratch. Any non trivial apps use lot of libraries. In GNU/Linux, most of them are shared libraries, i.e. .so files. You can use `ldd /usr/bin/mplayer` to check what shared libraries an app has been linked to, replace mplayer to whatever program you'd like to check. Shared libraries have versions. E.g. /usr/lib/libavformat.so.51, here 51 denotes its version. After upgrading, the version number may change. E.g. /usr/lib/
