[scponly] rsync --only-write-batch with scponly

[demo at itmanagement.net]

Hi Kaleb,

this was good news!

I tried out the snapshot from 20070718 and everything worked fine. I could
successfully use rsync with all long options I tested (most of them) from
cygwin rsync 2.6.6 protocol=29 to debian Etch rsync 2.6.9 protocol=29.
However I have not yet been able to set up the chrooted environment with
the snapshot, but I belive that is only a matter of configure it correctly
on debian Etch. I'll let you know when I succeed with the chroot and long
opts.

Thanks a lot for your help and the excellent scponly!
