literals in the rsync://HOST:PORT/PATH format.)

- When building under windows, the default for --daemon is now to
avoid detaching, requiring the new --detach option to force rsync
to detach.
+ - The --dry-run option can now be combined with either --write-batch or
+ --read-batch, allowing you to run a do-nothing test command to see
+ what would happen without --dry-run.

- Improved the option descriptions in the --help text.
SUPPORT FILES:
generator now transmits an index and a flag-word to indicate when
dirs and symlinks have changed (instead of producing a message),
which makes the outputting of the information more consistent and
- less prone to screen corruption (because either the receiver or the
- sender is now outputting all the file-change info).

from the generator to the sender, which then forwards it on to the

(ITEM_IS_NEW, which is normally an illegal flag to appear alone).

BUILD CHANGES:
- Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev().
