Summary: Unix: hidden files/folders in tk open/save dialogs

Initial Comment:
Howdy,

After some discussion on the pd list, I'd like to submit a patch to pd.tk that sets the tk variables for hiding hidden (.filename) files/folders in the Open/Save/Save As dialog boxes.  It also adds a button to show said hidden files.

In Windows and Mac, this behavior is inherited from the OS, so the associated code is only called for Unix environments.

I have tested this on my installation of pd-extended 0.39.3 and I believe this is a easy and useful addition to pd-vanilla.  I will submit this patch to pd-extended as well.

I haven't submitted a patch before, so forgive me if I somehow screw up the file.

accepted by Miller in the first 0.43 SVN commit, the code comes from the

I see now, this is a 'recommended' kludge :)

I checked it into branches/pd-extended/0.40/.

Yeah as for the catch part, it doesn't actually open the panel, at least
in a noticeable way.  I'm not a tk/tcl expert at all, but from what I've
read, the panel needs to be called before changing the variables will hold.
 It's a sort of "soft" open.

Does the "catch {tk_getOpenFile -with-invalid-argument}" part open the
panel?  Is seems like a kludge.  I suspect there is probably a cleaner way
to make those settings stick.

As for submitting a patch, this is find.  I think that making the changes
to the SVN-controlled sources, then using 'svn diff -x -w' makes the
cleanest patches in the easiest way.
