See issue #281.
When loading a project that has the setting **Save to one single
file** disabled, Manuskript tries to read all directories and files
under the project directory.
Manuskript expects all files to contain valid unicode characters.
However if a file containing non-unicode characters is read then
Manuskript will crash.
The error message displayed on the console is similar to the
following:

There are at least two known situations in which files with
non-unicode characters can arise:
A. The project is on Mac OS X and the operating system automatically
creates a .DS_Store file.
B. The project is under git version control and contains a .git
subdirectory.
This enhancement prevents the Manuskript crash on project load by
ignoring all directory and file names that start with a period.
7.3 is the oldest image available on TravisCI that works. Older 6.4
version does not play well with Enchant, resulting in a build error.
This could probably be averted by trying to build with 6.4 and without
Enchant support, but I'm not sure if it's worth it.
