I have merged branch scratch/kqueue into master. This adds the kqueue
file notification library for Emacsen running under *BSD or Mac OS.

Running "./configure; make" shall enable it on such machines. The
configure output reports, whether it has been enabled. If this doesn't
happen automatically, pls report.

Alternatively, you can enable it by calling

    ./configure --with-file-notification=kqueue

The file notification test suite runs via

    make -C test/automated file-notify-tests

Be patient, some of the tests take their time. Pls report also, if it
doesn't work for you.
