Class
    Foam::fileMonitor

Description
    Checking for changes to files.

Note
    The default is to use stat to get the timestamp.

    Compile with FOAM_USE_INOTIFY to use the inotify
    (Linux specific, since 2.6.13) framework. The problem is that inotify does
    not work on nfs3 mounted directories!!
