It's very nice to be able to yoke some of the power of my windows games machine for compilation tasks. I will probably put together my notes from the various sources I found on the simplest way to set up a cygwin cross compiler. That's a useful feature of distcc the other clustering platforms don't offer, and many people are like me I expect, with a few (possibly underpowered) Linux machines and some Windows machines with CPU to burn.
Already done! See http://kegel.com/crosstool/crosstool-0.28-pre12.tar.gz It builds a gcc/glibc toolchain of just about any combination of processor, gcc version, and glibc version, and includes a script to set up distcc as a service on cygwin.
(The one gotcha is that the latest cygwin has a bug which causes it to fail building glibc; the workaround is to unpack the latest snapshot cygwin1.dll from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ and then (when not running any cygwin processes) dropping the uncompressed cygwin1.dll into your cygwin's bin directory.) - Dan
