Do you think adding a check for file size changes?  Maybe add the
ability to check the MD5 sum (or SHA sum) of files.  This would
be extra overhead, so it should probably be an optional option.
I think checking file size changes may be sufficient for most
cases and is negligable overhead since the same stat call can be
used to check mtime and the file size.
