From what I could see, this is a third-party library, not one intended
for Guile core. If such support were to be added to Guile core, I would
agree that it should be cross-platform.
I'm interested in file notifications for a project of mine, but I'm not
sure I would want to introduce glib as a dependency if I'm only using
that one feature.
