Of course.  But I am not set up to build the GTK1 interface locally,  
so I'll need some help.  (There have also been a few changes to the  
code that may possibly prevent it compiling if I got them wrong, but  
I hope these should be easy to fix.)

This is a bug: the default should be no backups.  Can you please  
remove your ~/.unison/backup and send me a "-debug all" trace for  
some small part of your replica (using "-path XXX")?  The behavior is  
supposed to be controlled by "backupcurrent", whose default is empty.
