"rsync: not found" error with sshwindows

Have you checked that rsync works on the shell of Windows to which ssh 
connects?

Anyway, the error message should say "rsync (server side): not found" Or 
even better: "Rsync program not found on server machine, please, give 
the location using --rsync-path option".

Is it rsync development open to such patches? Does someone encourage me 
to give it a try? Any other voluntaries?

Cheers,
	Manuel.
