NAK.  Too damn ugly.  And completely misses the point of inotify -
seeing events generated only by this client is going to be worthless.
Face it, inotify is broken by design for network filesystems.  Any
software using it on NFS is broken; trying to paper over that is
not a good idea.

Just.  Don't.  Use.  That.  Shit.
