I would like GNU Parallel to behave similar to something you might
already know. The hope is that someone else might have made some good
design decisions that we can use.

If we can find some other programs that has a configurable
rsync-command/options, then GNU Parallel might mimic that. It does not
have to be configurable through a command line switch, it could also
be using an environment variable.
