#7 redefine rsync location

[Edward Perry]

Rsync has the ability to redefine the location of where the biniary is located. A quick modification to the use of this is to be able to use sudo with rsync.

eperry@localhost> rsync --rsync-path="sudo rsync" somehost:/ .

Quick description of the process
rsync is kicked off as eperry on server localhost
rsync then ssh's to somehost as user eperry
and execute rsync as root which allows you to get or put any file and it is logged

This will not make the version 1.3 release however it will be included in a rudimentary form in 1.4. i will add the option for redefining the rsync path on the remote host. a more advanced version will be included in the 2.0 release.
