// Zoid| A good CVAR_ROM example is basepath.  The code should read "cvar_t
// *fs_basepath = CvarGet("fs_basepath", ".", CVAR_ROM);  The user can
// override that with +set fs_basepath <blah> since the command line +set gets
// created _before_ the C code for fs_basepath setup is called.  The code goes
// "look, the user made fs_basepath already", uses the users value, but sets
// CVAR_ROM as per the call.
