+DEVELOPMENT ----------------------------------------------------------
+
+Splint
+
+  Build rsync with SPLINT to try to find security holes.  Add
+  annotations as necessary.  Keep track of the number of warnings
+  found initially, and see how many of them are real bugs, or real
+  security bugs.  Knowing the percentage of likely hits would be
+  really interesting for other projects.
+
+Torture test
+
+  Something that just keeps running rsync continuously over a data set
+  likely to generate problems.
+
+Cross-testing
+
+  Run current rsync versions against significant past releases.
