A CLI wrapper for a C FileSystemWrapper to use in windows, base on the excellent article by Jim Beveridge

The "default" FileSystemWatcher implementation in .NET has problems:

And probably others. I noticed the bugs during the implementation of a plugin. My plugin was crashing when a lot of files were removed/added.

This project , relies on a pure C/C++ implementation of a file system watcher and is more robust. On top of it is a CLI wrapper which exposes the same events as the original class. So one could seamlessly use this wrapper instead of the standard .net class.
