Whoops. I have that, but this machine doesn't have it installed, is old
and fragile, and I'm afraid to start messing with custom on it. It has
already died once, and I am in the process of putting together a backup
machine to be ready in case this one dies.

FWIW: I tried building rsync-2.6.6 on my 5.0.6a box as a COFF
binary, but it refuses to see -lresolv so has lots of unresolved
references.
