+### vague's note: original script by nightfrog, below is nightfrog's notes on this
+###
+### Usage note: 
+### For best performance, make sure Linux::Inotify2 is installed, File::ChangeNotify
+### doesn't have a dependency on it and if Linux::Inotify2 isn't installed
+### File::ChangeNotify will fall back to using File::ChangeNotify::Watcher::Default
+### which is a poor choice and rarely works
+###
+### The script will attempt to autorun newly created or modified files in the
+### autorun directory, it will also unload scripts that are deleted from the
+### autorun directory
+#
+# Author : nightfrog
+# Version: 1
+#
+# Watch the scripts directory for changes and handle them accordingly.
+#
+# If you are adding/deleting/changing scripts on a regular basis then this is handy
+#
+# Why I created this..
+# When I'm creating a script I will keep Irssi open in a terminal and an editor in
+# another side by side. When I save my changes in the editor this script will reload
+# it for me and I will be able to look at the Irssi terminal and see if I get errors
+# or not. If not, I can go to Irssi and test my creation.
+
+# ---- NOTE ---- #
+# Symlink them to autorun like http://scripts.irssi.org recommends
