Yeah - I just looked into the fact2 level, and it uses func_trains for
conveyors.  What a waste - all you need for a conveyor belt is a surface
attribute (like they have, but affecting all solid objects) and a moving
texture.  Func_trains however are actual moving objects, which leads to fun
making them have the right lighting...
