inotify is a POSIX library that would help meet the need.
It apparently has not been ported to Cygwin as a regular
package, though Windows has the necessary underlying ability.
However, this suggests that you can fairly easily build a

It seems to build and work reasonably well.
Another angle is this Qt library (though I am not sure if it
works under Cygwin):
