Filesystem events connector



I'm posting this here, in case anybody missed it. It should be very
interesting to watch what comes out of it.

>From the original post:

<snip>
Filesystem events connector is never a duplicate of inotify, inotify
just concerns change on file or directory, Beagle uses it to watch
file changes in order to regenerate index for it, inotify can't tell
us who did that change and what is its process name, but filesystem
events connector can do these, moreover inotify's overhead is greater
than filesystem events connector, inotify needs compare inode with 
watched file or directories list to decide whether it should generate an
inotify_event, some locks also increase overhead, filesystem event 
connector hasn't these overhead, it just generates a fsevent and send.
