For FLAC specifically, we could actually avoid this, because FLAC
metadata includes the md5sum of the raw audio samples:

smcv at testament% metaflac --list 03\ Only\ Happy\ When\ It\ Rains.flac
METADATA block #0
  type: 0 (STREAMINFO)
...
  sample_rate: 44100 Hz
  channels: 2
  bits-per-sample: 16
  total samples: 10424652
  MD5 signature: 05dafccc1a343a5cf488f1cc8ad9687c
METADATA block #1
  type: 4 (VORBIS_COMMENT)
...

I *think* that "MD5 signature" is invariant across different encodes of
the same raw samples (i.e. the actual data payload of a .wav, without
headers).

The one I have is some sort of budget re-release I think (Sold Out or
Xplosiv or similar). The presence of a Data.now directory suggests Sold
Out: my game media are in a box somewhere, so I can't immediately check
this.

Templates attached. This is the full CD contents, except the files that
g-d-p make-template automatically excludes, so they will need some
pruning. Perhaps we should exclude directories named /directx or
/data.now by default?

If they're very small we could just bundle them in with the game data as
if they were required (even though strictly speaking they aren't), like
I do for the ioRTCW unofficial patch for RTCW.

Those could reasonably be expansions, but without automatic download
URLs unless either they are small, or we fix the bug where g-d-p is too
eager to download optional bits just because they're available.

I'll try to get round to doing a round of review + upload soon.
