Comment (by dawuud):

 this actually is a BSD compatibility change since getting magic-folder to
 work with this watchdog based inotify API actually makes it work on all
 the BSD operating systems using kqueue and it should also work on Mac OS X
 using the native apple filesystem events api.

 we could of course replace it with two ctypes based inotify APIs. one for
 kqueue and one for Mac OS X fs events api...

 currently there are only two or three unit tests that fail and these
 failures are not so terrible... it fails because it's emitting more events
 than the unit tests expect.
