Please notice that rsync-2.5.5-2 Steve is referring to is not "rsync CVS 
tree" but actually just a Cygwin-specific patcher released.

As a matter of fact talknig about this on the mailing list 
rsync@lists.samba.org should be, IMHO, better: there the discussion can 
also be heard by rsync developers themself, than can maybe have better 
solutions (its their code, after all...) and/or say "we already solved 
that, just wait next release" or other comments.

Another thing in my personal To-Do list is to check "make check" and see 
why it is failing some tests (long dir test seems to me like "too long 
dirname for win32 standards"... if that's really the case that test 
should be deactivated for cygwin build) and maybe having a Win98 Cygwin 
in http://build.samba.org/ to check compilation there (I don't have any 
Win98 machine, though).
Notice than "cyberone" referenced in that page is my developement 
machine and I'm compiling using gcc-3.2 (as you can notice clicking on 
that page and reading the infos)
