[bf1942] New Build ... now w/ Bots.

[Joe]

Dedicated P4 2GHZ 1GB RAM RH8 on a T3 cannot yet run 9 players on wake
without connection probs with the latest build. Bad game to be porting
to linux.... no wonder they passed it off.

Ping times according to ryan are going to be off slightly until some
other things get dealt with.  Also, a 450mhz system is simply
