I have had problems (on Windows 2000) with filenames beginning with a "."
(namely .bash_history, .bashrc, etc for cygwin). I was able to create the
files, but... it didn't seem too happy with letting me do it. And it takes
some real convincing it you want to rename the file or something (because it
decides the whole file name is an "extension", and thus that the file doesn't
actually have a name as far as it can tell). In fact IIRC I had to drop into
the cygwin shell and rename the file from there.
