Comment:

 A very basic solution to this issue, I used in another project is to use
 the file/folder change time as a unix timestamp as an alternative
 parameter. In unix systems, as soon as any file within a folder changes,
 the function `filemtime()` for that folder would update. So using this on
 a folder as `wp-content` would maybe invalidate the cache more ofter than
 necessary, but it will invalidate the cache for any change on a CSS or JS
 file, as soon as any file has changed.

 Attached to this ticket, you may find a simple patch for that idea,
 keeping the WP version for Windows systems.

 (Unforunately the `wp_enqueue_script()` function does take the URL and not
 the file path, as otherwise it would be quite simple to just check every
 invidiual file.)

 Worked on at #wceu :)
