Getting "org-mobile-sync" to work.

Getting "org-mobile-sync" to work.

I'm trying to get mobileorg set up and working, which has worked. But I
also want to use "org-mobile-sync.el" from ELPA, the actual package
being "org-mobile-sync-20131118.1116". Looking at the source file it
says -

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;;; Commentary:

;; Adds delayed `org-mobile-push' upon saving files that are part of
;; `org-mobile-files-alist'. Watches the `org-mobile-capture-file' for
;; changes with `file-notify.el' and then invokes `org-mobile-pull'.

;;; Requirements:

;; Emacs 24.3.50 with `file-notify-support' is required for it to work.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But I can't find "file-notify.el" on my system, nor by googling for it
either. Can somebody help me to get the file please?

How do I know if "file-notify-support" is part of my Emacs please?

Thanks
Sharon.

If i understand correctly (and if i don't, please correct me!), 24.3.50
was the base for what has become the 24.4 pre-release / release
candidate series. i'm running version 24.3.94.2, via the emacs-24
branch, which contains a package `filenotify.el` (note lack of dash!),
and which i can successfully `require` .... Perhaps this is what
`org-mobile-sync` is wanting?
