Windows .exe utilities

Reads the machine type field from a Windows .exe file. From this we can determine 32-bit vs 64-bit as well as a couple of other things.

SafeHtml

This small Java class is a utility class for escaping strings so that they are safe to use in HTML. There's a single static method, htmlEscape(), which does the job.

I've found that all existing solutions (libraries) I've reviewed suffered from one or several of the below issues:

• They escape too much ... which makes the HTML much harder to read and takes longer time.
• They don't tell you in the Javadoc exactly what they replace.
• They do not document when the returned value is safe to use (safe to use for an HTML entity?, for an HTML attributute?, etc)

 * watchdir.c
 *
 * watchdir uses Solaris' File Event Notification system to monitor
 * a directory for changes. It is in this respect similar in use case
 * to Linux's inotify-tools.
 *
 * This method of monitoring a directory is far superior to any
 * alternative that would probably use looping and some sort of polling.
