I would like to propose replacing fam in the BLFS book by gamin. See
this thread 
<http://archives.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/blfs-dev/2005-September/011391.html>.

Basically the advantages over fam are:
* Does not need a daemon to be run as root.
* Has support for inotify.
* Is better maintained than fam(?)

See <http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/> for information on gamin,
especially <http://www.gnome.org/~veillard/gamin/differences.html> for
comparision with fam.
