The goal of the shell Unix folder is to show a view of the filesystem as
you would see it in a native Unix app, and it's using direct Unix calls
in order to do that. It allows showing symlinks, device files, etc. even
when we have to hide them in ntdll to avoid breaking apps. So I'm not
sure that replicating ntdll behavior's would be the right thing here.

So by that reasoning it would be better then to in shell32 implement a 'simpler' version: show dotted files when the option is activated, but do not hide stuff like /dev, /proc and WINEPREFIX (since they are native to Unix)?
