I saw it as variants of three existing options rather than
three new options but i don't think it will make much
difference.

My knowledge of popt is nearly null but i have
to ask is there positional dependency? 
is
        rsync --from0 --files-from=-
the same as
        rsync --files-from=- --from0
?  If not that should be at least noted in the manpage.
