What's the cost of computing a checksum? It would seem to me that it would
be the most reliable method of determining a change has occurred - certainly
better than mtime (at least on Windows) or filesize (since file mods don't
always change size).
I think adding a checksum as an option would be good, even if it's slow.
I'd be willing to do this work after my schedule clears up a little (end of
December, most likely, since we just lost a developer).
