[Gtkradiant] BSP monitoring from standard output?

[Riku 'Rakkis' Nurminen]

>From what I can see, they are already doing it right (I don't know their
code though and less am an expert in this). If MST_PLANAR means type = 1
(polygon) in the "face", where type = 2 is patch and type = 3 mesh, then
yes, they seem to be loading both type 1 and 3 in the same way. Am I
completely off track with this? :)

While at it, do you know of anything else that is different in q3map2
that could cause the crashes? Some levels get loaded right by the
engine, I can move around and quit successfully. Others load, but the
engine segfaults on quit. The strangest one so far is a crash when
looking upon a certain object in the map. The developers say the BSP
loader was designed for the original quake3 maps, and indeed those (and
the ones compiled with q3map) work fine.
