That patch was a bit buggy (see <http://bugs.debian.org/455446>), I have 
updated it so it works properly now: 
http://tedp.id.au/gitweb/?p=ccontrol-debian.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/find-cmd-by-dir;hb=HEAD

Is there a reason why ccontrol doesn't just peruse PATH until it finds a 
matching command that is not ccontrol? I think that would be easier to 
use, then the config file would only be necessary to configure more 
interesting things like no-parallel, distcc-hosts, etc.
