I've opened the flood gates ;) ....

Good point - I haven't tried it, but this can probably be done by mimicking
the 'official' MacQW's type/creator - a better solution is to ask Scott
Kevill to release a plugin that recognizes this version (since they are
different after all)

That's on my to-do list for both QW and NQ - just not a priority at this
point (though it should take all of 3 seconds to do).

Done - (sorta). I patched the mouse movement with the low-pass filter from
in_sun.c and created an 'm_smooth' console variable to toggle it. It's
definately smoother, but I think the whole mouse handling routine needs more
work.

Again, on my list.

This is a tough one. I've not experienced this myself - but I'll play some
QW on the weekend and try to get a feel for what is happening.
