	*fs_userpath = CvarGet("fs_userpath", ".", CVAR_ROM);  The user can
	override that with +set fs_userpath \<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.
