    src/sbbs3/scfg/scfgxfr2.c   
   Log Message:   
   Better raw directory/listing import de-duplication of short names   
      
   ... and when there is a duplicate we can't de-duplicate (given the current   
   permutation function anyway), display a more helpful dialog message   
   ("Duplicate dir name") unique from the duplicate internal code error dialog,   
   so if it's ever a problem again we can distiguish the two different causes.   
      
   This fixes issue #820   
      
   Other fixes:   
   - Don't increment the number of dirs imported before the opportunity to abort   
    import (upon dupe) is given - which could result in an invalid number of dirs   
    imported/added   
   - Don't import/add more dirs than the number of options that can be displayed   
    (100000 currently)   
   - Use isdir() to check if the path is a directory (not fexistcase) and only   
    do this check if the default directory for the lib has "Check for file   
    existence" enabled (the default)   
   - Give the opportunity to contnue or abort the import upon the   
    "Not a directory" error/dialog.   
   - When deriving dir (short) name from a path, skip non-alphanumeric chars   
    If none can be found (in the last 25 chars of the path), use the first 25   
    chars of the path instead.   
   - Unrelated fix: a newly created lib's 'vdir' member wasn't initialized   
    resulting in the directory's Virtual File Path starting with "//" until the   
    config was reloaded.
