I've been developing some software based on OA and one of the constant 
annoyances has been how none of the common widescreen resolutions are 
supported which makes it look less than wonderful when demo'd on a laptop. I 
know you can use some console mumbo jumbo to get them but thats pretty sub-par.

I've attached a patch, for the head ioquake3 revision, which adds support for 
the more common 16:9 and 16:10 resolutions. The changes work perfectly for me 
in my software which is branched from OA 0.7 and I can't see why they wouldn't 
work on ioq3, but I honestly haven't tested them with it.

feel free to include them in ioq3/toss them out the door/laugh at them

cheers,

lucas
