!Note handling of directories!:
    Linux: newly added subdirectories are reported but not automatically added for watching! -> reset Dirwatcher!
	       removal of top watched directory is NOT notified!
    Windows: removal of top watched directory also NOT notified (e.g. brute force usb stick removal)
	         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!)

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