Write a program in Go which uses the inotify syscalls to monitor changes to a given directory and print them to stdout in some structured format like json. I envision something like this:
$ ./fsmonitor some/dir/or/something { "path": "/file/which/changed", "type": "file", "modification": "contents-change" }, { "path": "/symlink/which/changed", "type": "symlink", "modification": "removed" }

Fixed by #4.
