Hm, just looked at it, it's a lot cleaner than mine (since mine is
converted code from something different), he uses a system that monitors
/proc, which I tried first but found way too inaccurate for my needs.

I use inotify (needing kernel 2.6.13), the advantage is I will catch
every file accessed in directories I monitor, the disadvantage is that
it takes some time to setup monitoring those dirs (need one open on all
directories, which causes some io wait).
