The magic incantation to make all unix files visible in the Finder is

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES

at a terminal prompt. This makes all "dot" files visible, including
some Mac-only clutter that would be better off left invisible. To turn
it off use the same command with NO at the end.

I keep meaning to write an AppleScript to toggle this with a button
click.
