Trevor,

I thought the motivation for moving inotify-tools to oe-core
was:
  a) It's a nice cmdline utility
  b) coreutils ptests needs it.

I think I've mislead you into believing b) since
inotify-tools provides:
   /usr/bin/inotifywait
   /usr/bin/inotifywatch
and I don't see any mention of that in the coreutils/tests directory
or in fact in coreutils.git at all:

$ cd .../coreutils.git
$ grep -r inotifywa * -> NULL

So we need to figure out what the failing coreutils ptests that
involve inotify really need since it seems that it's not inotify-tools.
