Please don't do that.
Make a createfile or something similar.
On Win32 there are no files.

Yes indeed. OpenSSH complains quite loudly when a key changes, and
rightly so.
The big difference is that OpenSSH is intended to be an end user

I want callbacks, or notifications, or something else, so that my
application can handle these things on it's own, or forward them to
the user per whatever policy is current today.
