No, it does not build with devel/fam. Configure script checks for gamin
explicitely, aborting process unless gamin is found.

I had fam installed because I needed fam support for samba, and somehow
gamin caused smbd to either core dump or loop. I had no time to look into
the issue. With fam, samba worked good enough.

For now, I did portupgrade -f -o devel/gamin fam.

Another issue with tracker: compilation looks for includes in
/usr/local/include before the source directory. The result
is that the in-place update fails. I have to remove/rename
/usr/local/include/tracker.h to upgrade.
