[PD] Hidden folders in PD open/save dialog

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

You should be able to set that variable in pd.tk and have it work  
without modifying the other file.  Try just adding
set ::tk::dialog::file::showHiddenBtn 1
set ::tk::dialog::file::showHiddenVar 0
Somewhere near the top of the pd.tk.
