glibc-2.3.90+ includes sys/inotify.h by itself.  However, checks like
the one implemented by gnome-vfs are rare in my experience.  Most of
the applications, like beagle, include an internal copy of inotify.h
and enable the support at run time.  Actually, gnome-vfs just checks
for the existence of inotify.h.  It has its' own internal copy called
inotify-kernel.h that it uses.
