It would be a fairly large task, so it's not one that I'm planning to
tackle, at least not directly.  Sometime in the future it would be nice
to implement an improved rsync protocol that did not require either a
forked duplicate or an extra thread (I implemented one such a protocol
in a testbed program a while back), but I don't know when I'll finally
get around to that.
