The Reason we did this ist o avoid custom Config Files for each Host.
We only need to create the Host with name 'ctDIR8' and everything works like a 
charm ... so only the"hosts" file needs tob e changed when adding/removing 
Hosts ...

It's not clear to me what are you trying to do?

While it's not clear to me what you are actually trying to do, there is a *lot* 
that you can do short of patching the Rsync.pm file.

- You can have separate config files per host
- You can put arbitrary executable Perl code within any host config file that
  is evaluated at run time which can be used to conditionally set
  variables like RsyncShareName at run time.
- Several of the variables (e.g., DumpPreUserCmd) can even take raw perl
  code as an argument that is executed when the corresponding routine
  is run.

In all I have been able to do some really funky things in my config files by 
inserting my own Perl code to make the configuration do what I want...

So long as version 4.x still uses a similar structure for the config file, I 
would imagine that one will still have plenty of flexibility and power to allow 
for run-time type configuration capabilities.

I would try to avoid a patch or Rsync.pm even in 3.x
