A different approach to #6.

Working flawlessly on OSX and benchmarking roughly the same. Looking forward to trying on Windows, Ubuntu and reviewing further later. Thank you for your excellent work!

Works beautifully on Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04. Seriously nice work Roarke! Will merge this shortly.

working fast and reliably for me on ubuntu 12.04. thx

@shama I am glad it is working so well on the other platforms. I just committed some cleanup of unused code. Everything should be good to go for a merge.

One thing to note is I had to change some of the unit tests because of how watchFile works. watchFile will not fire an event if the file changes between the watchFile is registered and the first poll interval. This is why I added the time out to some of the unit tests. With out it the file changes within that first interval and no event was fired.

Merged and bumped to v0.3.0. Fantastic work Roarke, thanks again for your help!
