[bf1942] Problems with battle recorder methodology

["Einar S. Idsø"]

Hmm... are you saying that rotate_demo.py doesn't have access to all the
internal python-stuff, such as the bf2 and host objects? Ouch, that is
pretty bad! Hope it gets fixed somehow, Your suggestions seem good, and
I too would *really* like to see +overlayPath back again :)
