As the libraryWatcher extension is not yet enabled by default, I would 
be more inclined for option 2.

After you have coded option 2, I'm sure it will be easy to hook your new 
code to the LibraryWatcher's modification event in a second patch. So 
then you end up with 1 and 2 easily done!

Thanks for looking at this!
