Request : Can AutoT4 watch a file and when this file is changed, trigger template execution #23

I use a local file (EntityList.txt) in my solution which contains a list of entities. When I change this file I want my templates to run so they generate the appropriate code if I change this file content.

Perhaps we could have an AutoT4Settings.json file alongside the solution that could control AutoT4 behaviours such as this. We could have solution dependant behaviours then as well as version control applied.

Thanks!
