I fail to see the advantage of this.  In my case, you either install
distcc or distcc-gtk.  In your case, you either install distcc only, or
distcc + distcc-gtk.  Not much difference from a binary package point of
view.  

The gtk frontend is not in its own subdirectory.  So when building from
source, the easiest option really is in the ./configure flag.  That's
when we usually have a compile-time option, or twin packages, cfr icewm.  

It would also require less maintenance when the package's source
structure changes, but the ./configure flags remain compatible.  Then we
won't have to change anything.
