Did someone bork eval_variants?

[James Berry]

Hi Jordan,

Yes, I cannot tell  lie. I did bork eval_variants in r24071. My  
change to option parsing suddenly allowed the malformed rsync_options  
to begin to be passed into the engine, which then broke. This option  
was apparently always silently ignored.

Not long after I discovered this problem I checked in r24072, which I  
believe fixed the issue. It fortified the engine against such  
malformed options, and also put in a special case to fix the  
mailformed rsync_options option in your ports.conf.

Let me know if the problem persists with ToT.

And sorry I didn't see your email before I went to bed.

James
