The problem is that fam is Linux-only, IIRC. At least, it is
Unix-only. If we really want GNUstep to be platform-independent, we
should at least provide some portable framework to deal with file
alteration. And it would be this framework's responsibility to dialog
with whatever exists on the platform to monitor files (famd on linux,
win32 APIs on windows, some homemade daemon elsewhere).

My .2 eurocents.
