Ok, so we have to run with the KeepAlive version, then. Which brings us
to the next issue:

With KeepAlive, we need to be able to not only interrupt the diffing
process (as in MaximumDiffingTime), but also resume it after a
KeepAlive command has been executed. I think the decision on how to
implement this best is up to you Ben, since it invasively affects the
core BoxBackup distribution.

Not a problem, my stuff is miniscule compared to what others
contributed.

I'll get to it when you tell me the current trunk is stable for the
next release and runs well under Cygwin/RedHat combo.
