rsync 2.5.5 w/ HFS+ support for OS X

[Joseph Annino]

This is great!  Is it possible for this to work in such a way that HSF+
information can be preserved when syncing to a non HFS+ system if a special
command line flag is given?  Something like what hfspax allows.  That way
incremental backups of HFS+ volumes can be easily made to other unix servers
and moved to tape, which is something I do via hfspax currently.
