A good extension to libwrap would be to make it cache contents of
/etc/hosts.allow and observe its changes via EVFILT_VNODE kevent(2)
filter. And actually reread the file only when its contents change.
Of course this implies that application using libwrap is
kevent(2)-driven. Sounds like a GSoC project, btw.
