This is the best solution I've come up with.

#! /bin/sh
B $1
waitforchanges $1

where "waitforchanges" is the following small C program:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	struct stat ost, nst;

	if (argc != 2)
		exit(1);
	if (stat(argv[1], &ost) < 0)
		exit(1);
	for (;;) {
		sleep(3);
		if (stat(argv[1], &nst) < 0)
			exit(1);
		if (nst.st_mtime != ost.st_mtime)
			break;
	}
	exit(0);
}
