--------------------------------------+---------------------------
 The drop-upload feature (#1429) uses inotify to detect filesystem changes,
 and therefore works only on Linux. This ticket is about supporting the
 same feature on Mac OS X, probably using
 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FSEvents fsevents]. However, fsevents does
 not give notifications of which files have changed, so the implementation
 will have to scan the directory and look at last-modified times to
 determine that. (This is occasionally also necessary for correctness on
 Linux; see #1430.)
