Hi, thanks. Yes, I'm able to build it just fine without ACL support.  
Longer-term (next few/several weeks), yes, ACL support will be quite  
important and I was very happy to find out about these patches for  
the new version(s) of rsync.

My thanks to all involved in the work (not just the patches but rsync  
in general). It's an invaluable tool and the though of a version that  
properly handles extended attributes -and- ACLs (Apple's doesn't -  
not both, not without failing) is indeed something to get excited about.
