OK, that's makes three of us ... does anyone see any problems with this?
I think ideally netatalk should have a config option to allow it
choose between the following 3 behaviors:
1. Don't make dotfiles available to the Mac (current behavior).
2. Make dotfiles available as visible files with no name change.
3. Make dotfiles available as invisible files with the '.' stripped off.
