rsync - Jun 2011 - windows compilation problem

I'm compiling rsync 3.0.9pre1 using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 on my
windows XP system. I get a compilation failure in flist.c, function
send_directory:

flist.c(1653) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before
'type'
flist.c(1654) : error C2065: 'name_len' : undeclared identifier
flist.c(1654) : warning C4018: '>=' : signed/unsigned mismatch
flist.c(1660) : error C2065: 'name_len' : undeclared identifier

I realize the construct at this line is valid C99 syntax, which isn't
accepted by MS.

Can the code be changed to declare this variable at the beginning of the block?

From:
        for (errno = 0, di = readdir(d); di; errno = 0, di = readdir(d)) {
                char *dname = d_name(di);
                if (dname[0] == '.' && (dname[1] == '\0'
                    || (dname[1] == '.' && dname[2] ==
'\0')))
                        continue;
                unsigned name_len = strlcpy(p, dname, remainder);

To:
        for (errno = 0, di = readdir(d); di; errno = 0, di = readdir(d)) {
                char *dname = d_name(di);
                unsigned name_len;
                if (dname[0] == '.' && (dname[1] == '\0'
                    || (dname[1] == '.' && dname[2] ==
'\0')))
                        continue;
                name_len = strlcpy(p, dname, remainder);

Thanks.  I had a fix for that on the master branch that I needed to bring
over to the 3.0.x branch.
