 Trying to install rsync with the rsyncd variant on 10.6.4.
 Complation/installation succeeds, but then I cannot activate the startup
 item.

 Instructions provided by the build script:
 {{{
 --->  Creating launchd control script
 ###########################################################
 # A startup item has been generated that will aid in
 # starting rsync with launchd. It is disabled
 # by default. Execute the following command to start it,
 # and to cause it to launch at startup:
 #
 # sudo port load rsync
 ###########################################################
 }}}

 Trying to activate the startup item:
 {{{
 $ sudo port load rsync
 Error: Target org.macports.load returned: Launchd plist
 /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.rsync.plist was not found
 Log for rsync is at:
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_net_rsync/main.log
 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
 }}}

 In /Library/LaunchDaemons there is a org.macports.rsyncd.plist file
 instead of the org.macports.rsync.plist that it is looking for.

 Changing the startupitem.name attribute in Portfile from "rsyncd" to
 "rsync" fixes the problem.  Patch attached.
