I want to monitor a folder so that I can know when a particular
file(s) has been modified.

I found the win32 FindFirstChangeNotification but the docs say:

    "... For operating systems that use extensive caching,
    detection occurs only when the cache is sufficiently
    flushed.".

Is there some way that I can deal with this condition?
