file alteration monitoring with gamin

Anybody who has built emelFM2 with gamin support may care to test with
the attached patch applied to gamin 0.1.3

The patch has just been submitted to the gamin maintainer. It
implements the stated gamin policy of "not following links" which means
that monitoring of 'events' that apply to symlinks is more reliable -
or so it seems to me.

FWIW, I still see one other gamin problem - inconsistent behaviour when
monitoring ~/.Trash (under gnome, at least).
