Reading the docs in rsync's zlib and in the TODO, it _sounds_ as if nobody has pushed rsync's extra stuff upstream. Apparently, if you link against libz.so, one of the options doesn't work, and therefore a client communicating with an rsync server won't work correctly. Of course, that doesn't sound a problem for those of us who don't run an rsync server.
