Thanks Matt!
Now the only thing is... I don't know how to patch a patch :( Sorry, I'm
not very experienced with building from source. Figuring out how to apply a
patch to rsync's source was easy since the patch begins with instructions...
but your patch doesn't (that I can decipher anyway). If I understand
correctly, your patch patches the patch that patches the src, right? Any
tips would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
