/*

cvar_t variables are used to hold scalar or string variables that can
be changed or displayed at the console or prog code as well as accessed
directly in C code.

it is sufficient to initialize a cvar_t with just the first two fields,
or you can add a ,true flag for variables that you want saved to the
configuration file when the game is quit:

cvar_t	r_draworder = {"r_draworder","1"};
cvar_t	scr_screensize = {"screensize","1",true};

Cvars must be registered before use, or they will have a 0 value instead
of the float interpretation of the string.
Generally, all cvar_t declarations should be registered in the apropriate
init function before any console commands are executed:

Cvar_RegisterVariable (&host_framerate);


C code usually just references a cvar in place:
if ( r_draworder.value )

It could optionally ask for the value to be looked up for a string name:
if (Cvar_VariableValue ("r_draworder"))

Interpreted prog code can access cvars with the cvar(name) or
cvar_set (name, value) internal functions:
teamplay = cvar("teamplay");
cvar_set ("registered", "1");

The user can access cvars from the console in two ways:
r_draworder		prints the current value
r_draworder 0		sets the current value to 0

Cvars are restricted from having the same names as commands to keep this
interface from being ambiguous.
