[bf1942] Punkbuster confirmed for 1.6

[Steve]

I have used punkbuster for q3 for a while now,  and while it has been the 
occasional PITA, it does serve a purpose.  I might not be able to stop all 
the cheats, but I find it a great way to log cheaters for banning. If the 
BF server admin community works together to create a master list of 
offenders that we can ban, I think it has served a valuable purpose.  No it 
might not rid us of the craftiest of cheaters but it will teach those those 
that attempt to cheat in BF and get a caught a lesson.
