Well good news. SharePoint 2010 seems to have this feature available.

Link showing this feature in SP 2010

Codeplex has project that has this feature along with others.

But if you want to do it yourself, you could possibly try this link? It seems to use an event handler to check if the item exists. Seems simple enough, although I have not tried it but I am curious if you get it to work.

Well not really sure but, I think you can use JQuey here and check for items when added to the library.
