Works with Windows 10 (build #14942 or higher) and Windows Subsystem for Linux  #3

Description

@corford

Microsoft recently added inotify support to their Windows Subsystem for Linux (see: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2016/10/07/wsl-adds-inotify-filesystem-change-notification-support/).

Happy to report running notify-forwarder watch via bash on the windows host and notify-forwarder receive on the linux guest picks up file & directory changes made on the windows host (confirmed by running while true; do inotifywait /vagrant/gitrepos -r; done on the guest).

Only caveats: I had to run notify-forwarder as root on the guest and DELETE events are not picked up (only creation/modification, albeit shown as ATTRIB events by inotifywait).

So you can add Windows 10 to the supported platforms list :)
