To be honest, I'm kind of surprised it works at all on Windows XP.

Even without testing it, I got the impression the first build wouldn't work on 
Windows XP.

Did you do your own build ?

I just did and it works with standard Linux rsync-client and Windows XP 
rsync-binary. I have some doubts about it
working with backuppc, if protocol 28 is the highest it supports.

Anyway the Windows XP-binary is:

I usually also keep it together with the same cygwin1.dll, unless you already 
have a complete cygwin installation.

No I didn't, or atleast not test it and I didn't know until recently that 
BackupPC uses it's own implementation of rsync-client.

This is kind of still a bit of a development-release, I posted to this 
mailinglist in the hopes to get some idea of what
people need or want (first).

It seems some people wanted a Windows XP-binary, so I created one.  :-)
