Subject: [PATCH] Ignore dotfiles in profile includedir

Editors and filesystems may create artifacts related to .conf files

which don't change the file suffix; these artifacts generally begin

with "." so that they don't appear in normal directory listings

(e.g. ".#filename" for emacs interlock files).  Make sure to ignore

any such artifacts when processing a profile includedir directive.
