'@' in username

The code in main.c causes rsh/ssh to fail if there is an "@" in the
login name
e.g.
username: fulano at mydomain.net
host: shell.isp.net
=>
rsync foo fulano at mydomain.net@shell.isp.net:
tries to log in with
rsh -l fulano mydomain.net at shell.isp.net
or even worse with -e ssh
ssh -l fulano mydomain.net at shell.isp.net
ssh ignores the -l option and uses 'mydomain.net' as the username
The fix is simple: use the last "@" as the delimiter instead of the
first "@". (RFC 1035 does not allow "@" in domain names.)
