Hi to all.
An user just wrote me to ask why I didn't include "patch" in the build
requirements of rsync (in the README).
So I began to wonder: as the default build script needs it (and not
rsync itself), should I list it there or not?
And.. if the anwer is yes: I guess also "gcc" and "make" whould need
to be there? I wonder how many other packages.
(I hope the "Base" ones can be avoided, such as "tar" and "findutils",
used often in the script)
