There is a section in my book about how to extend Boost.Asio and create a  
new I/O object. While the book is in German it might already help to see  
the sample code: http://www.highscore.de/cpp/boost/asio.html#erweiterung

There is also a ready-to-use Boost.Asio extension at  
http://www.highscore.de/boost/dir_monitor.zip (current implementation  
works only on Windows).

HTH,
Boris
