Should we make it a global flag? What description is better:
inotify - Enable inotify filesystem monitoring support
inotify - Enable inotify file change notification support
+1, ...
... despite that most of these shouldn't even have a USE flag for
inotify, instead it should always be enabled with 'kernel_linux' and let
the application itself do a runtime check if inotify is available or not
since these have no external dependencies (other than virtual/os-headers)
not everything should be put behind USE flag :-/
