You *definitely* want to be careful about destroying the invisible
"._filename" files.

In the AppleDouble world (pretty much everything other than HFS and HFS+),
the resource forks and file meta information is stored in an invisible file
with a leading "._" on the file name.

The .DS_Store files, on the other hand, are simply the Finder's way of
storing its view settings for folders.
