* Improved the -x (--one-file-system) flag's handling of any

INTERNAL:
* Most of the I/O is now buffered, which results in a pretty
for the entire transfer.
* Changed hardlink info and file_struct + strings to use
- allocation pools. This reduces memory use for large
- filesets and permits freeing memory to the OS. (J.W. Schultz)

+ sets and permits freeing memory to the OS. (J.W. Schultz)
* The 2 pipes used between the receiver and generator processes
(which are forked on the same machine) were reduced to 1 pipe
* Improved the internal uid/gid code to be more portable and
a little more optimized.

+ * Device numbers are now sent as separate major/minor values
+ with 32-bit accuracy for each one (protocol 28). Previously
+ hard-link device data was sent as a single 64-bit number, and
+ copied devices were sent as a single 32-bit number. This will
+ make inter-operation of 64-bit binaries more compatible with
+ their 32-bit brethren. Note that optimizations in the binary
+ protocol often sends the device data using fewer bytes than
+ before, even though more precision is now available.
