Revision changelog:
1 Compiled with gcc version 3.2 20020818 (prerelease)
2 Included Anthony Heading's patch to avoid dead child processes
   http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2002-09/msg01155.html
3 build script updated to support digital signatures
4 source package now contains original's package detached gpg signature
   by the author and detached signatures on the script itself and on the
   patch, signed by me
5 signatures can be checked with "./rsync-2.5.5-2.sh checksig"
6 "./rsync-2.5.5-2.sh all" can still be used to create an unsigned
   package (with only original rsync package signature)
7 "SIG=1 ./rsync-2.5.5-2.sh all" can still be used to create a
   signed package (with only original rsync package signature AND
   signatures on script and patch)

1 and 2 lead me to suggest a "test" period for the package
3 is just a nifty feature I liked adding, but it is intended to be 
optional, that's why I have not changed the "normal" build command and 
it correctly checks (and warns) for missing /usr/bin/gnupg an the such

I would like a negative or positive comment on the "improved" script, too =)
