Sadly, the source tree showing on mamedev.org is out of date (from 0.148u1). It is a relic from the site moving last year and has not been updated. We've been pointing people to the GIT mirror:
http://git.redump.net/mame/tree
The "hlsl_ini" commands were in the source for a time, but never quite functioning correctly. There was a time where using them crashed the emulator.

There was a lot of user confusion and issues related to having these separate .INI files created. Finally the sliders were updated to default .INI settings and the commands were taken out.
As it stands now, you can use put HLSL settings in the normal .INI files. The config.txt in the DOCS details numerous .INI files which can cover large portions of your gamelist by using such names as "vector.ini", "horizont.ini", "vertical.ini" to cover those output possibilities.
