Follow-up Comment #29:

I like Abhinav's suggestion of only forcing a rehash of a directory known to
have changed.  I wouldn't call that a sledgehammer at all.

One way to make it more fine-grained would be to allow the second argument to
be a filename rather than a directory.  Then adding a file is very efficient
-- presumably much more efficient than doing a rehash of the whole directory
based on a timestamp.  The only need for an inefficient whole-directory rehash
is that a file may have been added by a program external to (and not triggered
by) Octave.

Also, I think you would be looking for "FindFirstChangeNotification", the
Windows equivalent to Linux's inotify.  I don't think MinGW supports inotyify.
