The librsync library implements network delta-compression of streams and
files. The algorithm is similar to that used in the rsync(1) and xdelta(2)
programs, but specialized for transfer of arbitrary-length octet streams.
Unlike most diff programs, librsync does not require access to both of the
files on the same machine, but rather only a short ``signature'' of the
old file and the complete contents of the new file.

- Update librsync to 2.0.0 and move to net/librsync2.
This is ABI-compatible with 1.0.0, but due to an accident
upstream with releasing 1.0.1 with a reversed shlib version,
they released 2.0.0 with only a restoration of the shlib
version of 2.

Add net/librsync1 which is based on the 1.0 release of librsync.
This is not API-compatible with the 0.9 release. None of the ports consumers
of this library currently build with it.
