/**
 * @file
 *
 * Handle invocations where the compiler name is implied rather than
 * specified.  That is, "distcc -c foo.c".
 *
 * This method of invocation is less transparent than the masquerade system,
 * and less explicit than giving the real compiler name.  But it is pretty
 * simple, and is retained for that reason.
 *
 * This is used on the client only.  The compiler name is always passed (as
 * argv[0]) to the server.
 *
 * The current implementation determines that no compiler name has been
 * specified by checking whether the first argument is either an option, or a
 * source or object file name.  If not, it is assumed to be the name of the
 * compiler to use.
 *
 * At the moment the default compiler name is always "cc", but this could
 * change to come from an environment variable.  That's not supported at the
 * moment, and may never be.  If you need that level of control, using a
 * different invocation method is recommended.

 * We can tell there's no compiler name because argv[1] will be either
 * a source filename or an object filename or an option.  I don't
 * think anything else is possible.
