I understand this issue now.  This is what comes from going months without 
touching the code.

What you need isn't pycrypto, it's pycryptopp.  If you run 

	sudo easy_install pycryptopp

that should download, build and install the necessary package.

As for _librsync, I've incorporated it into the source and configured setup.py 
to build it, so "./setup.py build" will build it.  Unfortunately, that 
doesn't put it in the directory where the source is, so you need to copy it 
from the build directory into the source dir to run the tests.

I updated the README with most everything that should be needed to build and 
run GridBackup (such as it is).
