It is a cvs co made recently, true.

Rsync code use many global ans static variable, this is not usable for a 
library. So to done a lib, I took rsync, create a struct and it's typedef 
(see rspeer.h and rspeer.c) and I am removing all global/static variable from 
code to put it inside the rspeer struct.

The current code doesn't works and doesn't compile at time, notice I start 
this one or two weeks ago and I still have to modify all function to pass the 
rspeer struct as argument:

-int allow_access(char *addr, char *host, char *allow_list, char *deny_list)
+int allow_access(rspeer rsp, char *addr, char *host, char *allow_list, char 
*deny_list)

I currently do not plan to change rsync code else for making code works from 
library, but I am in the first step of the project, and open to all 
improvements/suggestion.

I am open to any help to.
