    Fix up the unzip command-line introduced in mlong's enhancements

    1. You can't include % specifiers in the string passed to system.exec()
    - this is just a wrapper for system(), it doesn't recongize Synchronet
    command-line specifiers.
    - so I just prepend the exec_dir for Win32, leave off for *nix.
    - it appears this wasn't tested since that command-line would not work.

    2. Added 'j' option to unzip. We don't want the extraction of infopacks with
    sub-directories to be creating sub-directories under our ctrl dir.
    We should consider extracting to a temp dir instead of the ctrl dir if
    we don't have absolute control over what's being extracted from downloaded
    zip files. This could be dangerous if we're not extremely careful.

    This repetition would happen when the hub's address was the same as their 'fido' key value.

    Log Message:
    Pass the ctrl directory on the SCFG command-line

    Fixes issue were jsexec was used to invoke this script and a ctrl dir (different than the contents of the SBBSCTRL env var) was passed on the command-line (i.e. testing purpose). Use the correct ctrl directory.

    Create the data/text directory if it doesn't already exist. This dir
    is normally created whenever SBBS is run, so it should normally already
    exist, but if someone runs this script via jsexec before (ever) running
    sbbs, then it's possible the data/text directory does not yet exist.

    Log Message:
    Address sysops sending emails to net-coordinators w/invalid reply-to address

    Issue raised by Dumas Walker (CAPCITY2) on DOVE-Net: apparently some new
    sysops run this script before their configured hostname (e.g. mybbs.synchro.net) is valid or their mail server has been tested (can successfully receive Internet e-mail).

    This attempts to address this concern by:
    1. displaying a warning that it's important that the address given is valid
    2. attempt to validate that the host portion of the provided address is valid
    (has a DNS address record or MX record)

    Uses dns.js for MX-record lookup - thanks Deuce!

    This script does not validate that the email host can actually receive mail
    or that the name portion of the mail address is valid: that would require an outbound connection to the host's TCP port 25, which may be blocked by ISPs
    (if remote) or if its a local server (e.g. the same machine as the BBS), that wouldn't confirm that its reachable by Internet hosts. And not all mail
    servers support the necessary SMTP commands to validate recipient addresses.
