I seccond the motion that the windows hidden attribute be ignored. I suspect 
that nearly every user on the list has Explorer.exe set to show hidden 
files. Sice Cygwin is very useful for system administrators, and they almost 
always leave hidden files visable, it makes no sense to treat these files in 
any special way. (Assming that cygwin does).
