Ok cool. It has only just occured to me that this will mean
chocolate-doom has to go into contrib for the time being :(

( as a result I just had an attempt at seeing if freedoom
  could be made "backwards compatible": many boom-isms could
  gracefully degrade e.g. colormap lumps for type 242
  linedefs can have dummy texture names defined; however
  just about all of the doom2 maps cause visplane overflows
  in chocolate-doom. )
