+I  Client side QuakeC.
+I  mingw cross compiling
+I  merge nq and qw code bases

+o  menu rewrite
+o  scripted hud
+?  more direct intra-team comms (eg, talk to offense or defense directly)

+?  console commands to see a user, ignore talk from them, etc
+?  improved crosshairs (custom file, 32 bit for GL, etc)
+?  software targets should mix color at 16/16 or 24/32 color
+?  Draw_Pic and other tex draw functions should use local palettes
+?  wad loader should load wad3 and fall back to wad2 if necessary
+?  better control over client console logging
+?  ban reasons and expire times
