vmtouch -b file loads the files, mentioned in file, into RAM.

Consider monitorying file, when it is closed, or overwritten, and reread it. In particular, when file1 was in file and file was toched/closed/modified/overwritten, reread file1.

Neat idea! A sort of combination between inotify (#39) and -b. I'd be open to pull requests.
