rsync windows -> unix still hanging :(

[Dave Dykstra]

I've never seen anybody suggest any other value for --modify-window than "2".
Does 90 really work better than 2?  My understanding is that PC-style
filesystems do not have 1 second timestamp granularity and so round the
times up or down slightly.
