I've updated the directory monitor which I had developed about a year ago:  
http://www.highscore.de/boost/dir_monitor.zip

It now supports Windows and Linux. The Linux version is based on inotify  
(available since kernel version 2.6.13). The directory monitor supports  
blocking and asynchronous I/O operations. You use it like any other  
Boost.Asio I/O object. There are two test cases to verify that the  
directory monitor works and to provide a minimum documentation. As there  
are only four methods provided (add_directory, remove_directory, monitor  
and async_monitor) it should be pretty easy to use this Boost.Asio  
extension.

If anyone wants to add support for more platforms (like Solaris) just drop  
me a line!
