Why?  It doesn't hurt anything to try spawning a non-existant program.
It just fails to load any scenery, which is exactly the behavior you
want.  Is there something that will actually break on windows if we
make this the default?  I can't see anything.

As for using non-rsync protocols, it's important to remember that a
common use case here will be for pushing out updates to scenery the
user already has.  Rsync is very, very good at that; at least so long
as the changed files have long, contiguous unchanged sections.
Whether it's a win here or not will have to be measured.  I dunno.
