Thanks, see below for a few comments.

First of all, are you aware of busybox's inotifyd? From a quick look it
seems to do more-or-less the same as these.

You're missing a space - Help text should be indented with
<tab><space><space>. You also have a trailing space at the end of each
of the help lines.

Please keep help lines <70 chars so they display ok in menuconfig in a
normal 80x24 window - Perhaps skip the extra indentation for these 2
lines?

Please also add an upstream URL here.

Put the url at the end of the help text in Config.in instead.

INSTALL_TARGET is default, so you can drop that - same for _SOURCE as
well.

Otherwise it looks good, thanks. Care to fix and resend?
