How do I auto-reload a Chrome extension I’m developing?

I’d like for my chrome extension to reload every time I save a file in the extension folder, without having to explicitly click “reload” in chrome://extensions/. Is this possible?

Edit: I’m aware I can update the interval at which Chrome reloads extensions, which is a half-way solution, but I’d rather either making my editor (emacs or textmate) trigger on-save a reload or asking Chrome to monitor the directory for changes.
