Summary: Automatically export newly created files for dir-as-disk

Initial Comment:
It seems like a good idea to automatically export newly created files on a dir-as-disk image to the host OS, after an eject of the virtual disk image. That should be a lot more comfortable for users.

Some context:

<Wolf_> imagine I need a ge5 image to load into one of my tools, I could use AGE to create 'em
<Wolf_> so, I run openmsx to create a ge5, and upon quit I continue with that file in my tools
<Quibus> you use dir as disk then?
<Wolf_> yes
<Quibus> an empty dir?
<Wolf_> a dir with command.com msxdos.sys age.com etc
<Quibus> I guess David didn't do it because of sector-based changes, which would get lost then
<Wolf_> what's the importance of sector based things? I just want to create a random file which then should be able to pick-up in windows
<Quibus> Yeah, I get it
<Wolf_> actually is it possible to put files into that dir (used as disk image) while the emu is running?
<Wolf_> I could imagine running mbwave in the emu and add samples to the disk while composing
<Quibus> I don't think those files would be picked up
<Quibus> It composes the image when you say you want to use that dir
<Quibus> (You can use diskmanipulator to import files though)
<Wolf_> a console command then to re-read the dir?
