This is very appreciated, thanks!

ok, if you say so :-)

ZSyncer has had this in CVS for some months now. It's labelled "Toggle"
and it sits right next to the "Sync" button.

whoops... it would have been better if you used a cvs checkout from
sourceforge. There have been a lot of changes since 0.4.6.
We've been overdue for a new tarball release for many months.

Andy == zopezen, and he hasn't done much with zsyncer lately -
by default I (slinkp) am now doing the most work on it.

I'm very interested in merging your first change with the cvs tree,
I will look at this sometime in the next week if you don't beat
me to it.

Thanks for working on zsyncer! It's a useful tool that could really
use more helping hands.
