There may be bugs with how dnotify was made optional. I will accept a
patch that fixes this :)

It is debatable whether or not the inotify patch should carry this
dnotify config patch as well. I don't see it being that large of a
burden on maintaining or using the patch that includes the dnotify
config changes.
