Re: bug: gtags not respecting .ctags files

Shigio, there does appear to be an issue after all )

1. FileTreeWalk.kt - sample kotlin file from kotlin stdlib.
2. kt.ctags - located in ~/.ctags.d/ in this scenario.
3. gtags.conf - my $GTAGSCONF
4. issue.log - scenario console commands.log 

As you can see from issue.log, gtags doesn't use kt.ctags if `gtagslabel' is 
set to
`new-ctags', `ctags', irrespective of gtags.conf entries for 
`--langmap=kotlin...`.
But it works with `gtagslabel' set to `pygments'.
When set to `pygments', gtags is affected by presence of custom kt.ctags file 
in ~/.ctags.d/. - its removal
removes the found tags.
