It's not a simple case of "enable flag and build it", this features uses
a Linux-specific interface (inotify) to monitor directories.
It might be possible to convert to something using the BSD kqueue interface,
but this will use quite a lot of resources (a file descriptor for every
monitored file, not just directory), on even an average sized music
collection this is likely to run into kernel limits very easily ..
