Hmmm. Add a DB field containing an MD5 hash as of "ls -alR | md5sum" of 
the directory (might be slow) and have that one written to the DB (upon 
every n-th access to the page), if changed. Accordingly, copy the old 
MD5 value to another DB field for comparison. If md5_cur and md5_old 
don't match, run $GLOBALS["TFSE"]->set_no_cache();

Not exactly sure whether Kasper's got some code in the core to check for 
dir changes, already.

Practicability depends on the size of the dir, of course.

Happy weekend,
Chris
