Build/distcc for msvc

Status and notes page for distcc-for-msvc project at Seneca/Mozilla.

Requirements

As a reminder, the current requirements for this project is as follows (starting with the most obvious)

1. Work with XP and perhaps Vista
2. Work with Free Express C++ version of CL
3. Focus on 32-bit x86 architecture
4. Should not have to break GCC in order to add CL

Plan

Here is a freemind mindmap towards our goal[1] (click save as)

Research

Cesar has looked into cl options and made a comparison of them to gcc options. Available here

CL

Currently we're looking into the #using directive, which is the consequence for the /AI and /FU compilier options. We're looking into how files in the using directive work with the preprocessor, and if these object/dll files need to be sent over the network.
