In ai_checkattack() is a check against AI_SOUND_TARGET. If the player
made a noice and the the monster noticed this noise it's true. If
that noice was more than 5 seconds ago the monster forgets that event
and continues with it's search for the player. Otherwise it informs
the surrounding monsters that something interesting has happened and
then returns false. So the problem is: Even if the monster heard the
player and can see him, it aborts at this point.
Fix this by adding an additional visibility check. Do the sound
checking only if the player is not visible, otherwise just continue.
This was reported by shoober420 and debbuged by maraakate. This fix
was DanielGibons idea. This commit fixes yquake2 issue #162.
Without this change the conditionals at g_misc.c:199 and 381 wouldn't
trigger until level.framenum reach it's previous value, resulting in
much to few debris or gibs being thrown. This fixes#104.
Many thanks to maraakate for the analysis and the idea how to fix it.

In ClientThink(), the float value ent->velocity[i]*8 is saved into
a short and if the value is too big for a short, in 32bit gcc builds
the short is set to SHRT_MIN, resulting in the player being pressed
down instead of up.
Now we put the result in a 32bit int first (which should be big enough)
and assign the int to the short. This still overflows, but with -fwrapv
at least in a defined way (most probably the same way the original
binaries did).
The Makefile now sets $CC to gcc for MingW builds, this should fix
https://github.com/yquake2/xatrix/issues/3
And while I was at it, when the game lib is loaded, it prints the date
it was built, this is especially interesting for our Win32 binaries.
In rogue's RHANGAR1 the turret didn't blow up the ceiling when friendly fire
was off, because in ClientTeam() both entities were set to "" (no team),
but OnSameTeam() just did a strcmp() instead of checking this special
case (no team).
We check this now and thus it works. Hooray.
I also refactored ClientTeam() to take the buffer instead of using a
static one and to be static (it's only called by OnSameTeam() anyway).
COM_FileExtension() was parsing strings from beginning to end, bailing
out as soon as '.' was found and treating everything thereafter as the
file extension. That behavior caused problem with relatives pathes like
models/monsters/tank/../ctank/skin.pcx. The new implementation uses
strrchr() to determine the last '.'.
