If you are running sshd as a service, you might use the
$Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} option to start rsyncd on demand. Also, I
think directions were posted to this list some time ago showing
how to configure rsyncd to only accept connections on 127.0.0.1
and use ssh port-forwarding to reach it. That works around the
problem of cygwin's rsync not working when executed by sshd.
