[tex-live] Your rsync probe for mirmon

[Karl Berry]

Hi Roland,

    I want to setup mirmon for our sanesecurity mirrors which use
    rsync. Found your script ...

Cool :).

    *** strange url :
     'rsync://odin.kozstyle.org/sanesecurity/'

Ah yes.  I forgot to mention that mirmon itself has to be trivially
patched to accept the rsync urls.  I updated the comments in my
probe-mirmon for posterity, but anyway, here it is:

Hope this gets you going,
