    Log Message:
    Clear any mouse hot-spots before executing external program from exec_xtrn()

    As Nelgin pointed out, mouse hot-spots were still active when running external programs (door games) - so clear any active hot-spots before running external programs.

    This could possibly be done in external() instead, but this sufficient for
    now. I wouldn't want a menu that EXEC's something (via @-code) to lose all its hot-spots as a result.

    Log Message:
    Add support for command-line specifiers in external program 'startup dir'

    The exception is: DOS programs on Linux (e.g. Linux DOSEMU), due to the
    funky drive letter mappng, this can't be supported for those external
    programs.

    As requested by Fluid via IRC, for Frotz support, to store user-unique
    data files in data/user/####.something (e.g. "%juser/%4.zork").

    Save/restore the current socket inactivity timeout value

    Rather than assuming the user is already "online" - this could be called
    during login, logon, or newuser registration which have different max socket inactivity timeout values.
