Recursively watch a directory for modifications and publish file content to an
MQTT broker

`mqtt-watchdir` is a Python program by [Jan-Piet Mens] to watch a directory and
publish new or modified files in that directory hierarchy to an MQTT broker,
using a matching topic. Source and instructions are available at
<https://github.com/jpmens/mqtt-watchdir> and it is also available via pypi.

It is a similar idea to my [mqttfs] fuse filesystem, but ultimately implemented
in a better (and portable) manner.
