I've changed it in inotify.c. I've simply cloned your
report_w32notify_error, called it report_inotify_error, and adapted all
error reporting places.

However, wouldn't it be better to have a common function the three
backends will use? A report_filenotify_error function in fileio.c?

Best regards, Michael.
