This patch enables <application><acronym>FAM</acronym></application> to use

|
the Linux kernel dnotify mechanism to inform the calling process of
|
|
file modifications, rather than polling the file system for
|
|
modifications.</para>

|
<para><command>chmod 755 configure</command>: <command>configure</command> is

set to read-only and <command>autoreconf</command> will fail if the

permissions aren't changed.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>autoreconf -f -i</command>: The autotools need rebuilding
|

because the dnotify patch affects <filename>configure.ac</filename> and

<filename>Makefile.am</filename>.</para>
