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@samba.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
