Initial import of rsync, a utility to synchronise directory trees across machines in an efficient manner, into the NetBSD packages collection. This is originally from the FreeBSD ports collection, but I've (a) deleted the patches which add support for a client for the public rsync daemon (I have no real way to test that under NetBSD), and (b) added a patch to use mkstemp() instead of a mktemp(), open() combination, and (c) also upgraded to version 1.6.9 while I was at it.

rsync is a replacement for rcp that has many more features.
Drop trailing whitespace. Ok'ed by wiz.

rsyns uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for
bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the
differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both
sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand.
This makes rsync a good remote file distribution/synchronisation utility
in a dialup PPP/SLIP environment.
improve English, clean up.

Note: it requires rsync on the destination machine.

Remove (sometimes FreeBSD) packager's (porter's) name from DESCR. If anywhere, it should be the value of MAINTAINER in the Makefile. Some minor cleanup/reformatting while I'm here.

There is a Computer Science Technical Report on the rsync algorithm
included in the distribution, and is also available as
