Exactly. If you use a startscript/desktop icon etc a user won't
notice the difference. There is also an option to use a custom
master server so you don't have to use id's. We could add more such
run time configuration option if there is need for it (e.g
application window title, icon...).

Personally I'd like to see some central tool that looks similar to
loki-demos where a user can browse/download/install/run mods for
ioquake3.

As contributor to ioquake3 I am of course biased, I really hate if I
fix something in ioquake3 then want to play some ioq3 based game and
still have the bug there.
