Bugzilla Bug 98141

The new mirrorselect (i think >= 1.0, checked 1.0.3 against 0.89) has a problem 
with rsync mirrors. Previously they were hard-coded in the script, but now are 
extracted from mirrors.xml. 

The problem is this file contains rsync _download_ mirrors, not those used to 
update the portage tree. This leads to the situation that it can invalidate the 
RSYNC variable in make.conf. 

A better solution would be to have separate options, one for selecting rsync 
mirrors, one to select download mirrors using the rsync protocol 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. mirrorselect -r  
2. emerge --sync 
Actual Results:  
No sync can be done  

Expected Results:  
Normal sync
