Description SpanKY gentoo-dev

files in env.d get exported to the environment of all processes, even ones unrelated to distcc.  distcc-config writes out a bunch of variables there, even the default values.  this just adds overhead/noise.

please make distcc-config smarter so it only writes out settings when they are different from the default.

Additionally, configuration in /etc/env.d/02distcc with distcc-config seems to override configuration in /etc/systemd/system/distccd.service.d/00gentoo.conf as proposed to use in the wiki page of distcc.
