- Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes
it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory.
+ - Added the "mapfrom" and "mapto" scripts to the support directory, which
+ makes it easier to do user/group mapping in a local transfer based on
+ passwd/group files from another machine.

DEVELOPER RELATED:
- Added more conditional debug output.
