Hi, John.
Attached patch makes inotify configurable via the boolean
CONFIG_INOTIFY. We cannot allow CONFIG_INOTIFY=m without playing with
function pointers, since the inotify (as with dnotify) code is called
from generic code.
Compile tested both on and off.
Also removed some module stuff that was unneeded, since we are not a
module.
A nice TODO would be to make dnotify a compile option, since any modern
desktop using Gamin would not need nor want dnotify. I will look at
that later.
Rock,
Robert Love
add CONFIG_INOTIFY
