[Gtkradiant] [Bug 435] Textures menu a bit too long

[Timothee Besset]

This is completely off-topic with bug #435

The shaderlist system in Q3 works on the assumption that foo.shader files
match foo/ directories, and that a foo.shader file won't try to provide
code for shaders that are not in the foo/ directory.

The naming as town_wall / military_wall / xlab_wall is a shortsighting on
GM's side as it doesn't follow Q3's implicit conventions. And it breaks
sub menu cascading, whereas wall_town wall_military wall_xlab would have
worked just fine.

If there is something that needs to be changed, I don't consider that
there should be a design shift on Radiant side, but a cleanup of the Wolf
shaders. 'walls' for instance has to be taken into seperate
town_wall.shader town_military.shader and xlab_wall.shader pieces. You are
absolutely welcome to do those changes and provide some patches.

As Astro made the current version of the scripts we use, I'd be curious to
see what he thinks about this (on CC here)
