win_unzip breaks when using beta Pscx version 4 #563

SUMMARY

To work around a known issue in Pscx 3.3.2 I tried the proposed workaround and installed the pre-release version: Install-Module pscx -AllowPrerelease -Force. That version renames Expand-Archive to Expand-PscxArchive.

This prevents overriding the built-in Expand-Archive, but the built-in command has a different parameter for the destination.

In the Pscx Expand-Archive this was -OutputPath and in the PowerShell Expand-Archive this is -DestinationPath. The win_unzip module expects the Pscx version and uses OutputPath.

So I can either install Pscx 3.3.2 and override several built in commands, or I can install Pscx 4.0.0 beta but then the win_unzip module breaks.

I understand this is a pre-release version of Pscx, but I thought I would bring it up such that it could be adjusted in time.
