[PATCH] XCOPY: Hack/Workaround for filenames starting with a '.'

[Jason Edmeades]

ActiveState installer uses xcopy to copy the unzipped tree across
which contains a number of files like '.packlist'. GetFileAttributes
flags these as hidden, and because /h is not supplied, xcopy skips
them. Since they would get copied on windows, default the copying
of hidden and system files on as a workaround to this problem
