Seems like some guy Darren Tucker [1] is in the same boat:

" I have an old windows VM with an oldish cygwin that I use for the
regression tests.  Investigating one of the test failures, I see that
it's for UsePrivilegeSeparation=sandbox, and it seems to be because
setrlimit(RLIMIT_FSIZE, ...) is not supported.

IMO, this isn't a big loss, since the most useful thing in the rlimit
"sandbox" is the descriptor limits.  Can anyone see a reason not to just
omit RLIMIT_FSIZE on cygwin?  It's a no-op unless you've explicitly set
"UsePrivilegeSeparation sandbox" in sshd_config. "

Maybe you could ask him about his experience on side-effects?

OTOH, to measure the difference between modern Win and NT4 one could 
probably compile whole env from the scratch and run Cygwin regression 
tests.  Some guys are doing "make -s test". [2]

I've found tutorial about installing rsync on old Windows. [3]

Maybe rsync could look like having fewer side-effects (or no at all) with 
this port now that it has been resurrected by some degree -- support for 
Win7 x64 was added this year. [4]
