+Icecream is a distributed compile system. It allows parallel compiling by
+distributing the compile jobs to several nodes of a compile network running the
+icecc daemon. The icecc scheduler routes the jobs and provides status and
+statistics information to the icecc monitor. Each compile node can accept one
+or more compile jobs depending on the number of processors and the settings of
+the daemon. Link jobs and other jobs which cannot be distributed are executed
+locally on the node where the compilation is started.
+Note that upon installation of the resulting package, all your software
+will be compiled by icecream by default.
+
+For information on how to use icecream in combination with ccache see
+http://en.opensuse.org/Icecream#How_to_combine_icecream_with_ccache
+
+icecc can use librsync, which is also available from slackbuilds.org.
