There's no problem whatsoever for native Windows programs, including a
Win32 GDB port, to access files with a leading dots in their names.
The fact that the Explorer disallows is simply a terrible misfeature
(if not a bug), but it has no technical reasons behind it.

So a Win32 port of GDB could easily use .gdbinit as well.
