   There are already some patches to do this.
 
+proxy authentication
+
+  Allow RSYNC_PROXY to be http://user:pass@proxy.foo:3128/, and do
+  HTTP Basic Proxy-Authentication.  
+
+  Multiple schemes are possible, up to and including the insanity that
+  is NTLM, but Basic probably covers most cases.
+
+SOCKS
+
+  Add --with-socks, and then perhaps a command-line option to put them
+  on or off.  This might be more reliable than LD_PRELOAD hacks.
