Or not, if you have configured bb to prefer applets.
Anyway, have you encountered a real case where you needed "inotifyd echo"
functionality, and the fork+exec cost was prohibitive ? If you have, then
your patch is a good thing (and would be even better with a config option
whether or not to include the functionality). If you have not, then it is
just creeping featurism.
