Hi, thanks for your thoughts so far, so it seems we just want to get rid of these conditionals for 2.5 :-)
One thing, though:

This carries along some platform dependencies, as "inotify" is not
unversally available (I was about to write "Linux only", but I bet
one of the BSDs has it, too, by now :-) - but definitely not all
supported platforms).
Google points to "fswatch", which is
"A cross-platform file change monitor with multiple backends: Apple OS X
File System Events, *BSD kqueue, Solaris/Illumos File Events Notification,
Linux inotify, ..."
so yeah - this has to stay an #ifdef for a while (and more esoteric
platforms like *cough* Windows or AIX might not have anything reasonably
compatible at all)
