There seems to be the FindFirstChangeNotification API:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364417%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
with FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_LAST_WRITE apparently providing what we'd need.
Not sure if QSocketNotifier takes the relevant handle, it would be an elegant solution (similar to the KInotify implementation). I didn't check though if KDirWatch already implements that.
