Allow or mention hidden-file browsing (especially for Windows) #53

"Application Data" is a hidden folder on Windows, and thanks to some idiotic decisions on gtk+'s part, there's effectively no way for us to have the Open dialog default to the Eschalon savegame dir. So, there's two options:

1) use set_show_hidden() to default the dialog to showing hidden files 2) Annotate somewhere on the Open dialog that users can hit Ctrl-H to achieve the same.

I'm actually not sure which way I wanted to do this. I'm not sure that showing hidden files should be default, but on the other hand, requiring users to hit Ctrl-H seems lame. In the end I'll probably go with option 1.

Yeah, decided to just go with option number 1 after all. About to push a commit which fixes this.
