Modder's Best Friend aka MBF21 v1.4

MBF21 is the next step in the classical / conservative feature progression from doom to boom to mbf. The project has these goals:

• Fix bugs and miscellaneous issues in mbf.
• Maintain backwards compatibility with the features of mbf.
• Make it easy to modify previously hard-coded elements of the engine.
• Add "low hanging fruit" features for maps and dehacked that are in demand.
• Make changes that are easy to adapt into existing source ports and tools.
• Maintain the classical / conservative flavour of boom / mbf.
