AFAIK, inotify would only be useful if we wanted to keep a daemon around all 
the time.

cron's the better call for now.

implemented in svn.

Sounds cool!  I guess the advantage to inotify would be that you would know 
exactly
which things had changed...but if the performance is good with the cron job 
then that
sounds good enough.

yeah, might add a logging api similar to what time machine uses later, but 
that's
outside the scope for now.

this fix is in v0.3 now, btw.
