[cod] Multi-server 1 install, different mods

[Robert Mount]

I install a full copy of the game for each server.  

Some may think i'm crazy or wasting resources.  However, diskspace is
not an issue, and i can run any version of a game you want.  For
instance, Macintosh users waited until just a few days ago to get 1.5x
patches for CoD i was able to accommodate with no trouble.  Using the
Symlink method you'd be required to install a new copy of the game or
move the Mac heads to their own box and keep the games at the old
version.

Scripting handles all the patching when a new update comes out.
