Hi.

Under this directory, you'll find diffs to replace fam with gamin in the 
ports tree:
http://www.bsdfrog.org/tmp/GAMIN/

A couple of patches were borrowed from FreeBSD ports and pkgsrc.

(note that the tracker-search diff also contains the gstreamer 
modifications which I'll commit tomorrow).

The biggest change is that I took the opportunity after discussing with 
landry@ to merge the glib2,-fam subpackage into the -main one.
Indeed:
* libgamin has no dependency
* notifications will not be enabled unless you install gamin,-server

So by default, current behaviour will not change and it allows us to 
simplify things.

Also, gamin is nice in the way that you don't need portmap running like 
with fam and when installed, the server will start on-demand, without 
the need to add any rc.local entry.

It is currently under testing, but so far, things work nicely. I'm still 
looking into some warnings and stuffs.

As usual, I'd appreciate any comments.
Thanks.
