[scponly] rsync with --partial and scponly

[Kaleb Pederson]

This is a known bug in the current version of scponly :(.  The problem is that 
the getopt parsing has not been correctly setup to handle long arguments, 
only the short arguments.

Thus '--partial' gets parsed as '-p -a -r -t -i -a -l' at least one of which 
is not an allowed parameter.  Similarly, '--server' gets parsed 
as '-s -e -r -v -e -r' causing the problem.

Neither I nor anybody else has yet had time, as far as I know, to make a patch 
to fix it.

Someone made a quick fix to allow '--server' as the first argument, but no 
correct formal patch has been made.
