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.
