This patch implements two consistency issues I think are present in makepkg. Once again, use what you want, not trying to force a patch down your throat.
1. DISTCC was a variable without 'USE_' or 'NO' attached, so I changed it to USE_DISTCC. 2. Undocumented options are present in the makepkg script so I made these options available in makepkg.conf with explanations. The script also needed slightly changing to accommodate these.

I'm not sure of the usefulness of having NOSTRIP, NOLIBTOOL, and NOEMPTYDIRS as global makepkg.conf variables (I realize NOSTRIP was there already). The reason is that we use these on a per PKGBUILD basis. We want the default to be the arch default and then to modify in exceptional cases. Arguably, maybe we want to be able to choose the default and the "arch default" is shortsighted and naive. But in that case, you'd want to have the option to STRIP, LIBTOOL, EMPTYDIRS in the options=() in a PKGBUILD. Jason
