Brandon,

Rsync should build OOTB under cygwin.  I believe that rsync-2.3.2 or
greater is required, because 2.3.1 and before did not handle binary
files correctly.  (I'm currently using a post-2.3.1 cvs snapshot, and
it seems to work fine when invoked under cygwin, though I'm not using
ssh with it.)

You may wish to subscribe to the rsync AT samba DOT org mailing list, or at
least check the archives.  I believe there are problems with ssh and
Solaris in the latest release(s), but I haven't followed the details
closely.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
David
