When a file is required, begin watching it. If the file is changed, re-load it.

libfswatch is a cross-platform library to enable this.

In future, it may be desirable to track the actual modules required by each module and reload dependents after a module is changed.

Scratch that, libfswatch is GPL, need to find an MIT alternative or roll our own.

I take that back. The MIT license is compatible with GPL and thus linking from MIT to GPL actually satisfies the GPL terms.
