Originally, did runtime detection while I was _testing_ it- once things proved stable enough, made it a hard coded dep instead of an internal optimization it'll do if it finds the binary. With emerge-delta-webrsync, I could contact the folks who were using it about merging tarsync (plus I tagged it into the blog)- for emerge-webrsync, I don't think this is the route to go however. ~harring
