Could someone give me a minimal example of win32::changenotify code  
that will raise multiple events for, e.g. mkdir -p a/b/c or mv foo/bar  
baz? The following only catches one event, for instance:

require “win32/changenotify”  
include Win32

$stdout.sync = true

cn = ChangeNotify.new(“c:\”, true,  
ChangeNotify::FILE\_NAME |  
ChangeNotify::DIR\_NAME |  
ChangeNotify::LAST\_WRITE)

loop do  
cn.wait(5) {|ss|  
cn.reset  
ss.each { |s|  
puts "File: " + s.file\_name  
puts "Action: " + s.action  
}  
}  
end
