I am not sure as it is somewhat hackish, but could we stat() the 
registry.d dir ?  This would catch case where a file is added to the 
dir, but not the case where a file in it had been modified, though.  I 
do not know the performance delta of stat() vs. open(), but doing a 
stat() (instead of a full open + include_once()) on each file in 
registry.d might be an acceptable compromise.
