Rsyncd requires exactly 4 files:
        rsync.exe
        cygwin1.dll
        rsyncd.conf (to configure the shares)
        rsyncd.secret (to contain the password)

Deploying rsync and running it as a daemon is not exactly hard (I simply 
create a single Scheduled Task), and way easier than SFU.  And has 
*numerous* advantages.  Other than a *TINY* deployment load, I see no 
disadvantages over SMB.
