Yes, I can put a note there. It's an old unmaintained code basically
with a few known issue. The main one being that you can only have a
limited arbitrary number of monitors on windows. In addition with
issue when monitoring the same file/directory multiple time. Also keep
in mind that EFL does use it internally so you may endup with multiple
monitor on your file that you don't know about.

Ok, now I have a test case. Thanks for taking the time to explain the issue.

I don't ask that much, but will love to get it anyway :-) But usually
when you are aware of a problem and can at least describe it, this
already help. And thanks again for openning a bug report to.
