Here's the recipe:

1. Get rsync (current release is version 2.4.6) from one of the very
   many places. See http://rsync.samba.org/ for more info..

2. Unpack, configure and build:
   
   $ tar zxf rsync-2.4.6.tar.gz
   $ cd rsync-2.4.6
   $ ./configure
   $ make

   [ the default "prefix" is /usr/local, and installing will put 
     rsync in /usr/local/bin ]
   $ make install

3. Run it.

I do see an issue with rsync claiming read error when it's done, but
haven't had a chance to look if it's a real error or false alarm yet.
