notify master process

[Reinis Rozitis]

Rather than hacking the source or writing a module in my opinion its better 
to approach it from different side. For example to use inotify to monitor 
the config changes and to the 'nginx -s reload' on system level rather 
inside the webserver itself.
Eg get inotify-tools ( http://inotify-tools.sourceforge.net/ )  (should be 
more or less in all distros)  and use inotifywatch on the nginx.conf .
