Created attachment 162885

inotify-tools fix and update

When I do (on 10-STABLE)

inotifywatch /tmp

and then interrupt it (Ctl-c) nothing happens (regardless of intervening
events); however, after another event arrives (say, touch /tmp/foo)
inotifywatch exits normally and prints the table of events.  The same happens
when doing, say,
inotifywatch -t 30 /tmp.

inotifywait works fine, though.

The attached patch fixes this (or perhaps works around a libinotify issue) and
updates the port to git HEAD since the port uses a more than five years old
release.

Please see the commit message in the patch for some additional explanations.
