ccontrol 1.0, aka "David Gibson"

The ccontrol program takes over the roles of the compiler, linker and make, and reads a configuration file to decide what to do before invoking them. This is particularly useful for centralized control over commands and options, such as enabling distcc and ccache. It is also great for controlling parallelism and which compiler versions to use, based on the directory and make targets.
