Just to add a note of support for this. I was installing Laconica again last night on Dreamhost and looking at the list of requirements to get it fully functional. Alternatives to pcntl_fork and Sphinx need to be offered for smaller installations that are depending on the distributed model of OMB rather than the larger centralised approach of Identica that is resource hungry. If one-click installs on shared hosts ala WordPress is an objective for Laconica development, the choice of a more lightweight 'personal' version at the point of install could be useful. The WordPress and WordPress MU distinction might be worth considering.

I don't have the knowledge to fix this, but I am certainly wanting
this patch. I can run cron jobs, but the pcntl_fork() function that
the daemons rely on is not available to me, and I suspect it is
unavailable to many people running on shared hosting.
