On the subject of needed patches, I just recently completed a patch for
librsync that fixed the mdfour code to have uint_64 or 2 uint_32's for
size. Without this, the checksums on files >512Megs are incorrect. The
code should drop into rsync without a hitch. The same goes for mdfour in
samba, becuase that is where librsync got the code from anyway.
