Maybe someone would want to play the Classic Doom3 mod without even owning the original Doom3 game...
But the License.txt forbids it 'This modification is only for use with a legitimate version of the game "Doom 3", created by id Software.';
so I also don't see the point of splitting dhewm3-doom3 (=base.so) out of dhewm3

Thansk for fixing this. These indeed only contained binary code (gamex86.dll, gamex86.so,...)



Segfault with Classic mod remains even after removing those, and the ones supplied with this mod:
    - cdoom/cdoom_dll.pk4  = gamex86.dll
    - cdoom/cdoom_linux.pk4 = gamex86.so
    - cdoom/cdoom_mac.pk4  =  game.dylib


We'd need a "dhewm3-classic" package with a 'cdoom.so' to make it work ?

cdoom/fan_extras/cdoomsource_131/readme.txt syas:
"Simply install a fresh copy of the Doom 3 1.3.1 SDK and unzip the contents of this package into the /src/ directory."
