Distcc mozilla tutorial

Fixed various typos and formatting issues.
=What is this?=
 This is a tutorial to get distcc to compile Mozilla Firefox on Windows using cygwin.
=Requirements=
 
# Window machines. For distcc to be of any use, there should be at least 2 machines
# Cygwin. You will need gcc to build distcc. We built build using gcc-3.4.4
# [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Windows_Build_Prerequisites Mozilla requirements]
# Patience
=Building distcc=
 
Checkout, build, and install the distcc source
<pre> svn co svn://cdot.senecac.on.ca/distcc/trunk cd trunk && ./configure && make && make install</pre>
Checkout the mozilla Mozilla source. If you are using the lastest latest version of trunk, than you are fine. If you are building 2.0.0.3 or below, you need to apply a silly [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374563 patch].
=MOZCONFIG=
 Currently, distcc does not transmit debug .pdb files(i.e., it can only send back one file). So you cannot currently do a debug build. Here is a sample MOZCONFIG file. All you need to do is modify the object directory (MOZ_OBJDIR).
'''Note the last line''', which is required for any MOZCONFIG file that wants to build using distcc.
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=/cygdrive/c/home/cesar/mozobj ac_add_options --enable-application=browser ac_add_options --enable-optimize ac_add_options --disable-debug ac_add_options --enable-debugger-info-modules=no mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=browser mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="CC='distcc cl' CXX='distcc cl' -j4"
=Environment=
The only required environment variable is DISTCC_CL_HOSTS, which contain a space delimited list of all slave machines. You must set this variable on the master machine (the machine that contains the source code).
<pre> export The only required environment variable is '''DISTCC_CL_HOSTS="localhost 10''', which contains a space delimited list of all slave machines.0 You must set this variable on the master machine (the machine that contains the source code).0.2 10.0.0.4"</pre>
export DISTCC_CL_HOSTS="localhost 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.4"
<!--
This section explains some useful environment variables that you can use.
=Distcc Daemon=
Start the distcc daemon. The only thing you need to change is who is allowed to use the daemon. You can use space-delimited list of ip addresses, or specify the CIDR mask of an entire subnet.
