I'm not sure I really like adding an option here that only has meaning for
Windows...I'm trying to minimize the amount of platform-specific code used
here. I'd really prefer to just fix the problem!

works. I'll incorporate that into what I'm working on.

This will need a little investigation. I haven't yet found anything in the
code that does anything special for dotted directories or files. I wish the

Not doing to do this.

My code should be fixing this as a natural part of the cleanup. There
should be no artificial limitations now.
