The configure.pl script updates the relevant rsync settings in the main
config.pl file. In particular, it updates $Conf{RsyncArgs}
and $Conf{RsyncRestoreArgs} with the 4.0 settings.
$Conf{RsyncSshArgs} is a new 4.0 setting, and $Conf{RsyncClientCmd}
and $Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} are no longer used. configure.pl tries to
extract a sensible default setting for $Conf{RsyncSshArgs} from
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd}.
The potential problems are that there are per-client overrides for these
settings (which is not checked by configure.pl), and the computed value for
$Conf{RsyncSshArgs} isn't correct.
All the major per-client settings (schedule, what to backup etc) are
compatible from 3.x to 4.x.
