-Conditional -z for old protocols
-
-  After we get the @RSYNCD greeting from the server, we know it's
-  version but we have not yet sent the command line, so we could just
-  remove the -z option if the server is too old.
-
-  For ssh invocation it's not so simple, because we actually use the
-  command line to start the remote process.  However, we only actually
-  do compression in token.c, and we could therefore once we discover
-  the remote version emit an error if it's too old.  I'm not sure if
-  that's a good tradeoff or not.
