This updates the file monitoring on Windows by: -Clean up the code, and ensure things are indeed being freed when we exit. -Have attributes changes in files (when monitoring directories) properly done. -Split up the code, to ease readability To Possibly Do: -Check on whether we want to monitor the case when we try to pull out a USB stick without ejecting in in Windows (the monitoring mechanism understandbly denies such ejection requests, since the monitored file/directory is obviously in use in this case) -Investigate on the interesting/boredom algorithm, whether we can do it here. Possible Limitations: -If moving a file out of the directory (or vice versa), the system reports that as a delete event (or create event in the vice versa case), so in the current form without using NTFS hournals (which is not optimal as that would trigger UAC), so we can't reliably emit MOVE OUT or MOVE IN events on Windows. -Hard links are supported transparently, but notifications are only sent by the system on changes when the monitored file/directory (or monitored hard link) is being changed, when the file is modified via the hard link or original file respectively in this case. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730116
