/*
!Note handling of directories!:
    Windows: removal of top watched directory is NOT notified when watching the dir handle, e.g. brute force usb stick removal,
             (watchting for GUID_DEVINTERFACE_WPD OTOH works fine!)
             however manual unmount IS notified (e.g. usb stick removal, then re-insert), but watching is stopped!
             Renaming of top watched directory handled incorrectly: Not notified(!) + additional changes in subfolders
             now do report FILE_ACTION_MODIFIED for directory (check that should prevent this fails!)

    Linux: newly added subdirectories are reported but not automatically added for watching! -> reset Dirwatcher!
           removal of top watched directory is NOT notified!

    OS X: everything works as expected; renaming of top level folder is also detected

    Overcome all issues portably: check existence of top watched directory externally + reinstall watch after changes in directory structure (added directories) are detected
