Bug 2813

Browse source 
* Do not detect a seperate homepath on win95, win98, or winme since it's not
  truly a user-specific dir and therefore provides no advantage
* Use CSIDL_APPDATA instead of CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA.  This means that
  user-specific game data is now allowed to be part of a user's Roaming Profile

* HTTP/FTP download redirection (using cURL)
* Multiuser support on Windows NT based systems (user specific game data

Multiuser Support on Windows NT based sysems
On Windows NT based systems (e.g. Windows XP), all user specific files such
as autogenerated configuration, demos, videos, screenshots, and
autodownloaded pk3s are now saved in a directory specific to the
user who is running ioquake3. On systems using the English language,
this is usually a directory named:
"C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Quake3\"
In order to access this directory more easily, the installer may create a
Shortcut which has its target set to:
"%APPDATA%\Quake3\"
Such a link would work for all users and would work on non-English versions
of Windows.
You can revert to the old single-user behaviour by setting the fs_homepath
cvar to the directory where ioquake3 is installed. For example:
ioquake3.exe +set fs_homepath "c:\ioquake3"
Note that this cvar MUST be set as a command line parameter.
