Have a file (ie filelist.txt) that contains the filename (with relative paths), one file per line.
rsync -rRWz `cat filelist.txt` user@hostname::module
The only limitation to this is if you have a large file list you may get a shell error.
It has already been suggested in this list, as well as by myself in the rsync wishlist for a new option to specify a file that has a list of files to be transferred.

HI all,
efficiency question for VERY low bandwith networks
Suppose I know the list of files that are changed
What is the most efficient way to make rsync sync this list.
Currently I use --include-from --exclude to generate a 'filelist' but I suspect that client and/or server exchange the list of files in the module to be synced. this traffic can be avoided since the include-from points to FILE names and not FILE patterns
Suggestions ?
