+"xtail" watches the growth of files. It's like running a "tail -f"
+on a bunch of files at once. The syntax is:
+
+ xtail name ...
+
+You can specify both filenames and directories on the command line.
+If you specify a directory, it watches all the files in that
+directory. It will notice when new files are created (and start
+watching them) or when old files are deleted (and stop watching
+them).
