rsync - Jun 2009 - rsync 3.0.x with Windows VSS-support

Hi Folks,

Recently I took the patch Elias Penttil? wrote and 'forward-ported' it
to rsync 3.

For people who don't know what it does, it implements backup of open files
on Windows with rsync.

Because I think rsync 3 is more efficient and more current in comparison to
rsync 2.

I made a small readme-page with information about what I've done so far and
the status/limitations/binaries:

As most people, I'm a bit strapped for time and thus I like to prioritize
the kind of
features/fixes/other changes that I need/peole want.

I'm contacting you folks to have a look, because I hope to get some feedback
on what people need.

My hope is to get something that works so well to have it included it in the
cwrsync-installer:

Their seems to be some interest from the cwrsync maintainer to possible include
it.

Have a nice day,
	Leen Besselink.

Excellent work... I will have to give this a try next week. The
scripts running VSHADOW are getting a bit tedious to maintain.
