I've completed my mods to get this updated to the latest CVS version and
then checked it all in.  Since things had changed quite a bit, I applied
the patch by hand and then compared my changes to the original patch to
ensure that I did a good job.

I did leave out one thing that I had a question about in main.c:  the
code that was looking for a -l option in the remote-shell command.  If
the user specifies a username in both the host-spec and in their ssh
command, do we really want to silently eliminate one of them?  Or should
we maybe complain and fail?  I think I might prefer to let the remote-
shell command run and let it complain about the two -l options (if
that's what it wants to do), but I could be convinced otherwise.

I've tested normal rsync operations to ensure that it is still working
right, but not daemon mode (which I don't normally use).  If someone
could help out with the testing, I'd appreciate it.
