Well, I still think it's an unneeded requirement. Maybe adding specific
support for these forks would be nice, taniwha is right that anyone
playing QW under linux is probably using QF or Twilight, using the ID
1.30 clients is plain stupid nowdays.

Maybe XQF could detect if the installed Quake is ID's (should
investigate how) and if it's the original, do require id1. Or remove the
requirement entirely... I don't know.
