It looks like Deltacopy just adds a bunch of GUI stuff and OS integration to
rsyncd. This is fine and dandy for some applications; but I've gotten rather
accustomed to just copying the rsyncd.conf and rsyncd.secrets files, then
running the service.bat file to install it as a service. This also makes it
possible to integrate it nicely with full cygwin installs.

Is it possible to copy a deltacopy config file into place and use it;
without having to go through the GUI, clicking buttons and filling out
fields on every machine?

There's a really good document out there somewhere, about what Microsoft
learned when they bought out Hotmail and tried to convert all the Unix
mailservers to WinNT. Turns out that being able to drop a config file into
place on hundreds of machines simultaneously with a script, is a very
valuable thing to have.
