[ANN] DirectoryWatcher 0.8

[Gavin Kistner]

http://phrogz.net/RubyLibs/rdoc/classes/Dir/DirectoryWatcher.html

A DirectoryWatcher keeps an eye on a certain directory, firing off your
own custom procs when a file is added to, modified in, or removed from
that directory.

See the link above for documentation. Download available from
http://phrogz.net/RubyLibs/DirectoryWatcher.rb


Feedback requested; am I doing something in this brief bit of code in
an un-ruby-like way? In a terribly inefficient way? Is there a better
way to 'pause' and 'restart' the thread tracked as @Thread?

Help me help you!

Awesome. I have a use for it _today_. I'll let you know if I run into
anything that seems to me to be a problem.


Thanks,
