For now I see 3 major issues with this patch.

1. Possible glib worker thread blocking (discutable, I like the idea to move
event processing from dedicated thread to glib worker)
2. Multiple hardlinked files in single directory are not handled properly -
rename tracking code just search for first file with the same inode number not
taking in account if it still persists in directory or not
3. No watching for modifying/attribute changing of files inside watched
directory.

I think, implementing 2 & 3 will lead to reinventing libinotify which old
version is a base of current kqueue backend
