Monitor the file-system for changes.
Previously, I was using the listen gem in combination with rb-inotify or rb-fsevent to watch for file-system changes. However, those libraries have been around for an extremely long time and have accumulated a lot of cruft. In addition, I don't like having to multiplex in application code depending on the underlying platform. I created this library to provide a simple, unified interface for watching directories for changes. This is the most consistently supported behaviour across all platforms, and fits the needs of most applications without a huge amount of complexity.
