second version of patch

Second version of the patch. I should note this is a very cygwin specific
patch, and designed as such. I'd be surprised if this is of any value on a
Unix/Linux system. Nevertheless, it does what we need, and I've seen some
google requests for it, so it is contributed back. I wouldn't expect it to hit
mainline rsync.

Basically, in cygwin, if a file is not-unlinkable, then a freshly created
link() to that file is equally un-linkable. This patch sets up a directory
(.rsync-tmp) and prior to processing any file creates a link(), then attempts
an unlink(). If anything fails, it skips. Linux does not exhibit this behavior.

Also, for extra safety, it performs a flock() to get an exclusive lock, then
immediately unlocks.

Thanks,
Devin
