What would be nice with your directory notification stuff would to be able to
use poll()/select() on the file descriptor you set O_ASYNC on rather that
having a signal delivered.
You could then have select() wait for, say, an 'exceptional' condition, and
have poll() look for something like 'POLLPRI'.

This would be very nice indeed... we use samba here at work to serve the
common source code out to a bunch of NT boxes, and the samba server gets
slated constantly for not serving change notifications. (Of course, I use
Linux rather than NT, despite company policy:-)
