When I understand "FileSystemSite" correct, it is based
on "CMFCore"s "FSObject". Such objects detect changes immediately
provided Zope is running in development mode ("-D" start option).

By the way, my "SkinnedFolder" may be of interest, too.
It will not solve the primary issue (templates and scripts
in the file system) but may facilitate access to them.
