- Fixed an age-old crash problem with --read-batch on a local copy

"vanished".
+ - Error messages from the daemon server's option-parsing (such as

+ - Most errors that occur during a daemon transfer are now returned to

- Fixed a bug in the daemon authentication code when using one of the
batch-processing options.
+ - We try to work around some buggy IPv6 implementations that fail to
+ implement IPV6_V6ONLY. This should fix the "address in use" error
+ that some daemons get when running on an OS with a buggy IPv6

ENHANCEMENTS:
- Added --keep-dirlinks (-K), which allows you to symlink a directory
- onto another patition on the receiving side and have rsync treat it
+ onto another partition on the receiving side and have rsync treat it
as matching a normal directory from the sender.
- Added the "write only" option to the daemon's config file.
- Some cleanup in the exclude code has saved some per-exclude memory
and made the code easier to maintain.
+ - Improved the argv-overflow checking for a remote command that has
+ a lot of args.
+
- Use rsyserr() in the various places that were still calling
rprintf() with strerror() as an arg.
+ - If an rsync daemon is listening on multiple sockets (to handle both
+ IPv4 and IPv6 to a single port), we now close all the unneeded file
+ handles after we accept a connection (we used to close just one of
+ them).

BUILD CHANGES:
- Added a "gen" target to rebuild most of the generated files,
including configure, config.h.in, the man pages, and proto.h.
- If "make proto" doesn't find some changes in the prototypes, the
- proto.h file is left untouched (its timestamp used to always be
+ proto.h file is left untouched (its time-stamp used to always be
updated).
+ - The variable $STRIP (that is optionally set by the install-strip
+ target's rule) was changed to $INSTALL_STRIP because some systems
+ have $STRIP set in the environment.
