[PD] Hidden folders in PD open/save dialog

[Miller Puckette]

This would be a Good Thing ... I wasn't of the impression it would be easy
to do though.  I've been assuming that would necessitate writing, and then
having to maintain, a whole new open dialog widget.  If there's a smarter
way to do it I'd love to know about it.

cheers
Miller
