I need to use a SOCKS proxy for rsync. It's normally possible through the
`RSYNC_CONNECT_PROG` variable; however, the version of rsync included with
macOS is too old to support it. Moreover, Apple is very unlikely to update
it due to their anti-GPLv3 policy. It would be nice if MacPorts included
its own build of a newer version of rsync, so that features like this
could be used.
Alternatively, MacPorts could at least support overriding the path to
rsync. Then I could stick my own build into `/usr/local` and use that.
