Latest release (8.5.r4.g4211bac7) includes garbage hidden files #9

There's a bunch of hidden files in the current release (also in the unused 7.15 release). They're of the format ._file_or_folder_name and contain some text of about Mac OS X and com.apple.quarantine. They don't actually seem to affect the functionality of wine, however.

The top level one is slightly different:

This is information created by macOS - plenty of explanations online if you search "macOS dot underscore" (like this one). marzent is likely just a macOS user and messed up creating the archive. Whoops!

Yeah these ones are especially sneaky since they are representation of the file's resource fork/extended attributes if the native filesystem does not support them... They are at least not garbage, do not affect wine at all and are transparently (de-)compressed with bsdtar:

% tar tf wine-xiv-staging-fsync-git-arch-8.5.r4.g4211bac7.tar.xz | grep ".*/\..*"
wine-xiv-staging-fsync-git-8.5.r4.g4211bac7/.INSTALL
wine-xiv-staging-fsync-git-8.5.r4.g4211bac7/.BUILDINFO
wine-xiv-staging-fsync-git-8.5.r4.g4211bac7/.MTREE
wine-xiv-staging-fsync-git-8.5.r4.g4211bac7/.PKGINFO

Anyways they still don't make too much sense here given the target os; I updated the release so they are no longer part of the archive (this interestingly saved up a few KB which is something I did not expect)
