Add ability to pass arbitrary options to rsync

[GoogleCodeExporter]

rsync supports a tremendous number of options; it would be nice to be able to 
pass these to it rather than being limited only to recursion. It will probably 
be cumbersome to implement a mapping to all of the available rsync options, and 
some of the pssh options have conflicting names, so it would be good to simply 
have the ability to pass them as an arbitrary string.

There's a lot of ways to do this: setting an environment variable, passing some 
sort of command line option, etc.

Does the maintainer have thoughts on how this would best be done?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that this is basically equivalent to the 
request in issue #2.  This should be in pssh 2.1 as the -x/-X options.  Let me 
know if there's anything missing there, or if it looks like it meets your 
needs.  Thanks.

I haven't heard back from you, so for now I'll assume that the new "-x" and 
"-X" options are sufficient.  I'll close the issue, but please reopen it if I'm 
missing anything.  Thanks for your help.
