Anybody planning to submit inotail to Extras?

Quote:
"inotail is a replacement for the 'tail' program found in the base 
installation of every Linux/UNIX system. It makes use of the inotify 
infrastructure in recent versions of the Linux kernel to speed up 
tailing files in the follow mode (the '-f' option). Standard tail polls 
the file every second by default while inotail listens to special events 
sent by the kernel through the inotify API to determine whether a file 
needs to be reread."
