Michael,

I did that immediately upon receiving your orginal email but I was a 
bit nervious about changing all the package dependencies but I went 
ahead and made a wholesale change from devel/gamin to fam-2.6.9_6.  
After reading Dick's answer and his changes, I doubt that it will cause 
a major problem.

Thanks,
