System.INotify

Description

A Haskell binding to INotify. See http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rml/inotify/ and `man inotify`.

Use `initINotify` to get a `INotify`, then use `addWatch` to add a watch on a file or directory. Select which events you're interested in with `EventVariety`, which corresponds to the `Event` events.

Use `removeWatch` once you don't want to watch a file any more.
