It's not clear whether you're including Linux as Unix, but Linux (2.4) does
have directory notification. See Documentation/dnotify.txt in the kernel pool.
It has some limitations. Updating a multiply-linked file through one of the
links and expecting a notification through one of the other names is the main
one.
That problem was a topic of discussion in Sydney, with no major breakthroughs
made...
