Qoole dosent actually DO anything with the information in the entities, its
all there as a placeholder for information exported into the .map file. so
you could add a million new feilds into an entity, and as long as the
compiler knew what to do with the various info you woudnt have a problem.
And as far as i can tell the quake 2 entity info in 2.30Final is still far
from perfect. Its missing feilds here and there and everywhere.
