AFAIK, `gdb.ini' is used in the DJGPP version only (Windows does allow
leading dots in file names, but DOS doesn't), and the different name
is explicitly mentioned in the manual, see the nodes "Mode Options"
and "Command Files".
So I don't think we need to hide this name behind a variable, at least
not because of Windows.
