RSYNC_EXCLUDES is the name, IIRC...

Well, that would be incompatible with a single signature. I don't
really see that point, but then I've been spoiled with broadband for
years. Do we really have many users on dialup that it would
inconvenience? Surely the massive size of the distfiles you have to
download makes the impact of rsyncing the portage tree negligible
compared to actually fetching everything you want to install?
