File system notifications for Go

Cross platform, works on:

Windows
Linux
BSD
OSX

Example:

    watcher, err := fsnotify.NewWatcher()
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    // Process events
    go func() {
        for {
            select {
            case ev := <-watcher.Event:
                log.Println("event:", ev)
            case err := <-watcher.Error:
                log.Println("error:", err)
            }
        }
    }()

    err = watcher.Watch("/tmp")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    /* ... do stuff ... */
    watcher.Close()

For each event:

Name
IsCreate()
IsDelete()
IsModify()
IsRename()

Notes:

When a file is renamed to another directory is it still being watched?
- No (it shouldn't be, unless you are watching where it was moved to).
When I watch a directory, are all subdirectories watched as well?
- No, you must add watches for any directory you want to watch.
Do I have to watch the Error and Event channels in a separate goroutine?
- As of now, yes. Looking into making this single-thread friendly.
