Very helpful but overwhelming ;)

Sounds like a lot of good improvements in speed, efficiency and
particularly memory usage.

One change that will likely require updates beyond File::RsyncP is:
        Protocol 30 now uses MD5 checksums instead of MD4.

I assume this would require changes to RsyncDigest.pm and maybe also
FileZIO.pm to deal with this new digest format. Maybe also a new first
byte (d8 anybody???).

Still would be great to have an upgrade to fix Windows issues (which
seem to be pretty prevalent).
