Excellent. I will have a look at your changes sometime.

No, there isn't.
I believe Solaris has a special device, /dev/poll, which is designed to
perform monitoring in a way similar to IMon, but this may have been
introduced in Solaris 7 or 8. We do not yet support this.
If you're planning on adding such support:
- you might like to apply the DNotify patch and use to
Monitor pseudo-interface it provides
- you might like to wait until I finish FAM 2.7, in which I
plan to provide a much more generic file monitor interface,
and reworked autoconf scripts, but this is unlikely to be
finished for a few months
