 This may not leave a working system since they're not 100%
 inter-compatible.

I don't see any reactions on this warning from you.
You are absolutely right though.

gamin != fam

gamin is only partly compatible!
Courier i.e. only runs with fam (and not with gamin)

For my single-user personal use I quit using courier-imap as I was tired
of logs filling with it complaining about fam not being installed or
configured correctly. Asked here, searched everywhere, and never got the
issue resolved.

Haven't tried lately. Based on my experience one could put up a good
argument that courier-imap doesn't even work with fam. You mean to say
its worse with gamin?

No, I said that courier works perfectly and *only* with fam.
No problem whatsoever with it. You just need to set the right rule in
inetd.conf for fam. Otherwise you get these log warnings ;-) You could
also compile courier *without* fam support.

The inetd.conf rule for fam:

# FAM: File Alteration Monitor [devel/fam]
sgi_fam/1-2 stream rpc/tcp wait root /usr/local/bin/fam fam

Not that difficult imho.
