There seems to be a long running defect in the implementation of ls.exe. It
shows windows system hidden files - which it shouldn't do by default. On
Unix systems files are hidden by placing a period in front of the filename
(ie, .profile), but in the windows world files are not routinely hidden
and have a switch to allow ls.exe to show
these files if requested (like ls --show-hidden-files and ls
--show-system-files).
