SciTE's File Open dialog has had a "Show hidden files" check box
and fileselector.show.hidden property since 2005 but this no longer
works when showing the dialog. I believe but can't prove that this is
due to the file chooser having its own "hidden files" functions which
clash with SciTE's. There is a bug tracker about this:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=102439&aid=3413630&group_id=2439

I think the best solution is to remove SciTE's features and rely on
the platform standard behaviour.

The fileselector.show.hidden property and "Show hidden files" check
box have now been removed.
