Thanks a bunch Paul! This is a new idea for me. However, I think it won't do
what I need. We are using cl.exe from MSVC7.1 , and distcc seems to be
gcc-centric. Also, it works on a file-by-file basis, while we use
precompiled headers. Do you think that it would be used anyway? Something
more like Rsh, but transferring environment and doing dynamic host
allocation might be better - though I don't know if it exists. :/

Check out distcc (distcc.samba.org). It's not a remote shell, but it'll do
the equivalent job very well.
There's a cygwin package for it, and someone on the distcc mailing list
has
done a protocol compatible native Windows version (although it may not be
public yet).
It is possible to drive a non-cygwin gcc from distcc, but you might need
to
make a tiny mod to the code (I used it with SN Systems' ee-gcc). Check the
distcc archives for my postings.
Cheers,
