[Gtkradiant] 1.6.4 build updated (Re: GtkRadiant 1.6.4 for Windows: shots fired!)

[Timothee Besset]

Coming to you from QuakeCon 2013 BYOC floor!

http://gtkradiant.s3.amazonaws.com/GtkRadiant-1.6.4-20130802.zip

We lapsed a bit updating the builds, but a lot of progress was made:

CHANGES:
- Continued MacOS X work. If you compile GtkRadiant on MacOS X from source,
it should be very functional. We are still figuring out the binary
distribution.
- The idTech2 (Quake 2) surface inspector was updated, better
functionality, less confusing etc. - similar changes to the idTech3 surface
inspector should happen soon
- Added -exportents option to q3map2 and q3map2_urt: some idTech3 games can
load entities from a separate file than the .bsp
- Fixes to STVEF support
- A bug due to the bump in texture directories that was causing all shaders
to load has been fixed
- There is a new button in the toolbar that lets you create detail brushes
by default
- There is a new preference that creates all brushes with the caulk texture
by default (default on)
