I had to resort to FSGetCatalogInfo -- there is no way to do it through
NSFileManager, etc. Right?

Since there are several ways to hide a file, I don't think FSGetCatalogInfo 
will necessarily tell you if a file is invisible.  The right way (before 10.6, 
anyway) is to use LSCopyItemAttribute with the attribute 
kLSItemExtensionIsHidden.

I don't think that's the right thing at all.  kLSItemExtensionIsHidden would 
seem to be talking about the *extension*.

Oops, I was half right. Right function, wrong attribute; kLSItemIsInvisible is what is needed.
