--files-from
Avoids traversal. Better option than a pile of --include statements
for people who want to generate the file list using a find(1)
command or a script.

File list structure in memory
Rather than one big array, perhaps have a tree in memory mirroring

Allow RSYNC_PROXY to be http://user:pass@proxy.foo:3128/, and do
At end of transfer, show how many files were or were not transferred
correctly.
