[quake2] compiling q2 for win32

[Brendan Burns]

Hey,
Windows isn't currently supported (although it should work)  You'll 
need to hack the makefile to get rid of that error, there's a bunch of 
if ($OS, <foo>) ... endif statements in there, add one for 
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 in there, you'll probably also need to set the shared 
library type to .dll, etc.  If you get it working feel free to send a 
patch...
