Yep.  At least compiled for use with Cygwin, it works fine.  I do use
a local tool to make a named pipe connection to a target machine
rather than rsh, but any old path should work.

You can't really use native drive specifications because as you note
rsync uses the Unix convention of separating the system from the path
with a colon.

But since Rsync is built on top of Cygwin (I'm presuming that's how
you built it) you can use the standard /cygdrive/? notation (or until
they formally remove it, the deprecated //? notation) to select a
drive.  You should also be able to use "//system/share" to access
network shares.
