Randomizing the host list
In environments where the build machines are reasonably homogeneous it
make sense to try randomize the distribution of jobs so that machines
at the top of the host list don't get swamped with jobs. This patch
allows you to request that the distcc client randomize the host list
before it looks for a host with an open compile slot by adding the
keywork '--randomize' to the hostlist.
Patch for distcc-2.14: <randomize-hosts.patch>
