makeself compression and hidden files

[Daniel Aleksandrow]

Is there a reason that makeself doesn't include hidden files/directories
when it makes the archive?

Something similar to this will fix this:

CHANGE THIS:
(cd "$archdir" && ( tar $TAR_ARGS -  * | eval "$GZIP_CMD" ) >>
"$tmpfile") || { echo Aborting: Archive directory not found or temporary
file: "$tmpfile" could not be created.; rm -f "$tmpfile"; exit 1; }

TO THIS:
(cd "$archdir" && ( tar $TAR_ARGS - .[^.]* * | eval "$GZIP_CMD" ) >>
"$tmpfile") || { echo Aborting: Archive directory not found or temporary
file: "$tmpfile" could not be created.; rm -f "$tmpfile"; exit 1; }

ie add .[^.]*

But if there's a specific reason it isn't included, could it become a
command line option?

Thanks
