OA has traditionally used "openarena" as its cl_gamename. Is dpmaster
case-sensitive?

Oh? That's what I was trying to ask for in Comment #17, which I thought Mathieu
refused in Comment #21. If this already worked, awesome :-)

That's what I was hoping for (but preferably with "openarena", if dpmaster is
case-sensitive).

(I probably won't be updating ioquake3 in Debian, or recommending to Sago007
that he updates the OA engine snapshots, until Thilo says he's finished
changing the network protocol for a while - let me know when, or if you want me
to try something out in experimental!)
