I vote for a configfile-only option for '..' in root.
It doesn't pollute code (adding 2 new lines (int hide_root_dotdot=0; and
a line in setup.c's table) and adding a variable to an if() shouldn't hurt).
I think it's better if the app is customizable (down to the tiny details)
than if developers decide what the user wants.
Such options don't need to have entry in the F9 menu, but if someone wants
he can change it in ~/.mc/config
