Fwd: OSX universal rsync

[Robert DuToit]

Just an update,

I have confirmed that rsync compiled on an intel won't work on PPC and  
vice versa. A lot of people have both kinds of macs so it would be  
good to have a universal binary for rsync 3.0, otherwise it means two  
separate rsync builds. So any help on compiling a universal rsync for  
macs would be much appreciated. The web page at ADC explains about  
this but I don't have knowledge in that area. Thanks Rob
