Rebuilding rsync to define HAVE_OFFSET64_T

[jw schultz]

Don't build 2.4.4.  Get either CVS or the current release,
2.5.6.

At least on linux autoconf will get it right.  There have
been reported problems with Solaris and, i think, HPUX but
nobody has provided a fix to configure.

On Solaris the "Value too large" problem can also be a
problem of negative timestamps.

If you have a log file larger than 2GB you really need to
rotate the logs.
