Well, I don't know if anyone has tried my TLM hack (beta, only available
in a.b.g.q), but it runs so fast as to be transparent to the user, and reduces
the distributable by a factor of approx 2. This will be greatly improved in
the next version (still a hack, until we agree on a nice file format), as
I think every map so far is just a modified thing list.
BTW, does anyone else think that PHIL.BSP has a strange filesize, being an
odd number and all?
