Nothing that isn't in cvs now I think.  But I did configure it to
build shared a library by default.  (Which was unnecessary.)

Yes, apparently it is a hassle now to build a shared librsync library.
But I just tested it on my machine and it seems that rdiff-backup's
normal distutil routine will use librsync's static library if the
dynamic one isn't present.  So I'm not sure if/why not having librsync
as a shared library would make installing rdiff-backup harder.
