Also, glib is part of GNOME, which, as a whole, does not seem to be
interested in systems which are not commercially relevant for them.
There's an active project to implement inotify for *BSD
https://github.com/dmatveev/libinotify-kqueue
While it still lacks inotify_init1, a year or so ago I worked around
this by some voodoo and built emacs to use the library. That basically
worked (and, IIRC, even passed the inotify-test.el of the time) but in
some situations removing a watch did not work correctly and a cpu core
remained pegged at maximum usage while emacs was running.
So, in the long run, inotify might be the more portable solution.
