If people should install Cygwin anyway (it is the better coiche, IMHO)
why giving them an exe instead of the simlpe phrase: "while yuo are
installing CygWin, just remember to select Net/rsync package and, maybe
Net/openssh".
Cygwin installer is easy, and if you're using it anyway it seems crazy
to me to get the executable from a different method...

Moreover if it is setup-installed it is automatically updated to latest
version on each setup.exe launch...

If the point is that your exe has better patches" applied I'm very
willing to cooperate to create a "better CygWin rsync package"...

Your exe *is* a cygwin exe just as the official package is, I don't
undesrtand the problem ?_?

I may suggest the Editor "nano" package also: it is a better editor, it
is 100% similiar to pico, the package is far smaller (as it is only the
editor and not a mail reader).

BTW: do you know that "your" rsync is 620Kb nistead of 200Kb because you
didn't "strip" it, yup?
