There's a bug reported in Debian about the tty being screwed up by wierd
filenames, see http://bugs.debian.org/bug=242300
On the one hand, find will also do this. On the other hand, ls will
replace such chars with a question mark. Upon inspection, it appears to
be fairly simple to also do this in rsync (in the rwrite() function).
Here's a patch. Opinions? Perhaps don't do it unconditionally, i.e.
offer some way to turn it off?
