Michael, agreed, but I'll move it to feature request status. I'd like to have a basic imfile ready and then extend it. That one would also work on all platforms (with and without inotify). Let it mature a bit in practice. Then add (via ./configure flag?) the ability to use inotify. If you agree, I'd add a tracker item so that this is not forgetten.
