the -glx binaries just exist because of compatibility reasons, they're
not recommended to be used. also they only support oss, which, in my
opninion is deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore.

nexuiz-server already exists. it will be built by the nexuiz source
package.

i'm trying to split the music into an extra package, but the engine
seems to have problems, playing .ogg files, seperated from its .pk3
file. i'm talking to upstream if it's managable to strip the music from
the pk3 file. stay tuned! ;)
