Another possibility would be to enable inotify only if --with-wide-int is also in effect. Every platform that has inotify also has wide ints, so in 24.2 this would work except for small number of people who configure --without-wide-int. Come to think of it, we can do that now. I.e., we can put in the inotify stuff now, but have it available only for the small number of people who configure --with-wide-int. This might help early adopters try out inotify without it being "mainstream" in 24.
