[cod] Custom Maps

[Boco]

People append z's in front of their mods if their mod overwrites files 
in the pak*.pk3 files.  The game loads pk3's in alphabetical order, so 
they want their mods loaded last, as it will overwrite any existing 
files.  Maps don't overwrite standard game files, so they can be named 
anything.
