The guys in Redmond figured that out in '95 with their
xxxChangeNotification functions that allow to monitor directories.
This works without *any* help from the code that makes modifications
(i.e. no need to call "notify", no need to send events, etc).
Hopefully we will see this on Mac in this millennium.

Panther supports the kqueue mechanism at the BSD API level, which can
be used for file-system change notification. The Finder team didn't
have time to adopt it for Panther, but I think they're interested in
using it in the future.

Being completely unaware of kqueue mechanism: does it work without
*any* help from the code that makes modifications (i.e. is it
transparent)?

The man pages says/implies that it does (man kqueue).

Failure is not an option. It is a privilege reserved for those who try.
