so why does freshclam not support rsync protocol ?, it just do diff 
updates as is, why use freshclam at all to local mirror, it could use 
rsyncd server, with lots of rsync clients

i would like to know if its possible to build local signed cvd so its 
not unofficial signatures, why is this missing still ?, i think 
sanesecurity like to see it works
