Preparing to test distcc

In order to test the effect of using distcc for package building, these packages are being set up for a non-mock build:

Package Researcher Computer
crystalspace George Popescu Australia
cernlib Gajendran Ratnam China
ghdl Devashish Mukherji India
gcc Rahi Parsi Ireland

Meanwhile, Chris is working to determine why diveintopython and gimp-help (which are books/manuals) are in the top-4 slowest packages :-)
