I fully support this change (there is an open PR on it, as well).  
FWIW, it's not annoying just on laptops.  It's also very annoying on 
server appliances.  Pretty much anything where you have long-running 
network-aware applications.

Comments on the patch itself:

	* I don't think kqueue is necessarily what you want to use.  I
	  think you want to use a combination of lstat() (to detect if
	  a symlink changes) and fstat() (to detect if the destination
	  of the symlink changes without the symlink itself changing).

	  Then unresolved is what to do if the file doesn't exist.

	* Library routines should not spit warnings/errors out to stderr
	  or stdout.  Please remove the warn(), err(), etc. calls that you
	  added.
