Filesystem events notification

[Dmitry Antipov]

Most modern systems provides kernel-based interface to monitor filesystem

modification events, i.e. the ability to inform user-space process about

changes made to the filesystem. Linux uses inotify, BSD uses kqueue, etc.

It may be useful for the text editor to utilize such interfaces to receive

notifications about the changes made by alien processes to the file(s) 

which are edited. An editor might just inform the user, might ask him for

some actions, etc.



Is someone working on this already ? If not, is someone interesting in

developing such stuff for Emacs ?
