[Gtkradiant] Quake 1

[Forest Hale]

There are several Quake map compilers, I maintain hmap2 which is a merged tool (contains qbsp, vis, light, bspinfo, bsp2prt in one executable which is launched with a commandline option to choose
which tool to use).

There are also tyrqbsp, treeqbsp, and a few others, and several different light utilities and a couple vis utilities.

Here is the hmap2 repository browser: http://svn.icculus.org/twilight/trunk/hmap2/

You can check it out with:
svn co svn://svn.icculus.org/twilight/trunk/hmap2/ hmap2

Note this codebase has several enhancements, such as compiling maps up to 1000000000 units in each direction, colored lighting (.lit files), deluxemapping (.dlit files), several types of light source,
transparent water (during the bsp phase or the bsp2prt phase), reading of q1, hl, q2, q3, q3 bp, and doom3 .map formats, and some other features.
