[bf1942] 1.2 patch

Tue Feb 14 08:27:47 EST 2006

True. So I leave it up to other people to decide wether they want to use
these patches or not, I'm in no serious hurry atm so I'll sit it out.
(In fact since I haven't been able to locate server binaries we can't
upgrade our servers yet, and as such playing on them would be impossible
with the 1.2 patch)
