[cod] Multi-server 1 install, different mods

[jagged at vtnetworks.net]

Very common practice I would hope. It saves tons of disk space, and there 
is no need to worry about conflits, as it is not writing to any of the 
files, just reading. I create folders in the users home dirs for each 
game, and make symlinks to all the game files.
