Sure, you can ask!  :-)

Unfortunately I'm swamped at work and won't have time in the near
future.  Maybe someone else will add it sooner.  Or if you were do add
it, I'm sure someone would apply the changes.

In any case, I doubt it'll happen in the next 2.5 hours, before I
start my compile tonight.

On a side note, I wrote my own shell script that does backups very
similar to what rdiff-backup describes.  I backup with rsync every
day, creating a new directory with the date in the name, and it hard
links any files that haven't changed since the previous day (so they
don't use any additional disk space).  That way each directory appears
to be a full backup, but only uses a fraction of the disk space
required for multiple full backups.

See the "--link-dest" parameter on rsync, and maybe you can do what
you need using only rsync.

Also, I have no clue how to add a Python module in DL.
