Try my experimental rsync with xattr support

I've written a patch to rsync that adds support for transferring posix
extended attributes. I've put the srpm and an i386 binary rpm at
http://people.redhat.com/fenlason/rsync/rsync-2.6.3-2.{src,i386}.rpm
These rpms also contain the acl patch.
To enable the transfer of extended attributes you need to use the new
-X option. Naturally, both the client and server rsyncs must include
the extended attribute patch if you use -X.
Please try this rpm out, and report whether it works or not. After I
get some feedback I'll be sending the patch (or its successor) to the
upstream rsync maintainer.
