Tweaked the USAGE section a tad and added an ADVANCED USAGE section

that discusses how to request multiple names from a remote rsync.

+The syntax for requesting multiple files from a remote host involves using
+quoted spaces in the SRC.  Some examples:
+
+quote(rsync host::'modname/dir1/file1 modname/dir2/file2' /dest)
+
+This would copy file1 and file2 into /dest from an rsync daemon.  Each
+additional arg must include the same "modname/" prefix as the first one,
+and must be preceded by a single space.  All other spaces are assumed
+to be a part of the filenames.
+
+quote(rsync -av host:'dir1/file1 dir2/file2' /dest)
+
+This would copy file1 and file2 into /dest using a remote shell.  This
+word-splitting is done by the remote shell, so if it doesn't work it means
+that the remote shell isn't configured to split its args based on
+whitespace (a very rare setting, but not unknown).  If you need to transfer
+a filename that contains whitespace, you'll need to either escape the
+whitespace in a way that the remote shell will understand, or use wildcards
+in place of the spaces.  Two examples of this are:
+
+quote(rsync -av host:'file\ name\ with\ spaces' /dest)
+quote(rsync -av host:file?name?with?spaces /dest)
+
+This latter example assumes that your shell passes through unmatched
+wildcards.  If it complains about "no match", put the name in quotes.
