Deprecation warning in macOS Catalina

While it would be desirable to eliminate this function call to get rid of a deprecation warning, daemon isn't going away. It was deprecated back in Mac OS X 10.5 (2007) and it's still with us today and for a good reason. There's no good replacement either, except forking manually and doing what daemon is already doing for us, just without calling the function daemon(...) which seems like a pointless exercise. So for now I'll close this as "won't fix", and if Apple ever decides to actually remove the libc function then we can reopen the issue.

Fine with me... I'm panicking at the thought of BugSur, which will be my next step, after all the work of getting OSXFuse running and NTFS-3g compiling in my MacBook AIr ;-)

Thx for the software, /PA
