Library compile routine tries to compile hidden (dot) files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Using Arduino 18 on a machine running Ubuntu Karmic, I noticed that the
library complier picks up . files with an extension of .cpp (e.g.
.test.cpp) and tries to compile them.  By convention, these sorts of file
are used as temporary buffers for file editors, and I've seen them included
in libraries created by OS X users (who apparently didn't have this issue).
 I would expect these files to be ignored.

To reproduce the issue, put a file called .test.cpp in a user library
directory, with the words "test file" in it, then try to compile a sketch
with the library included.

One solution would be to modify the findFilesInFolder() function in
Compiler.java:

Compiler.java
584c584
<       if (file.getName().equals(".") || file.getName().equals(".."))
continue;

---
>       if (file.getName().startsWith(".")) continue;

So that it looks like this:

  static public ArrayList<File> findFilesInFolder(File folder, String
extension,
                                                  boolean recurse) {
    ArrayList<File> files = new ArrayList<File>();

    if (folder.listFiles() == null) return files;

    for (File file : folder.listFiles()) {
      if (file.getName().startsWith(".")) continue;

      if (file.getName().endsWith("." + extension))
        files.add(file);

      if (recurse && file.isDirectory()) {
        files.addAll(findFilesInFolder(file, extension, true));
      }
    }

    return files;
  }

Good idea.
