For exa= mple, the patterns for bash's dot-files.

Why do you think we support _emacs for DOS and Windows?

I'm not sure why you're asking me, you= 're the DJGPP maintainer! If you meant it as an exercise, then I'd = say: I have no idea where we support it on Windows, where, post-Win 3.x (wh= ich we don't support), ".emacs" is a valid filename.

In other words, it looks like a quick hack to support the mo= st commonly-edited Emacs file that would suffer from this problem. I can= 9;t tell whether it's still needed, and if it is, it should be extended= systematically.
