Old rsync 2.5.7-2 should work with cygwin 1.5.5-1, but on the
rsync@samba.org mailing list many people reports that the new cygwin
1.5.7 release actually *solves* problems, and doesn't add more.

There is a known "scp hangs after 800Mb" problem or something like that,
but I still didn't debug it.
(moreover it seems to be more an ssh or signaling problem than a rsync
problem, which uses ssh only as a transport)
