First, please correct me if Linux-style inotify is already supported in
Cygwin. As I understand, it is not.
That's correct.

I would appreciate it if people could share their thoughts and advice.
I don't know if this will help, but Emacs has a filenotify feature which, on
Linux, is based on inotify. In the native Windows build of Emacs, filenotify is
implemented in the file src/w32notify.c in the Emacs source tree. Looking at
how this is done might give you some ideas.
The Linux inotify API is an excellent feature. I have used it a few times
with great success. It would be nice to have this feature on Cygwin.
Agreed. Good luck.
Ken
