What they call "Classic Doom 3" is a mod with the remake of the
shareware episode, but with Doom3 engine

These are the files that would go in doom3-classic-data: (maybe not
the _dll.pk4 & _mac.pk4 ?)

The .wad's are just the original game included as goodies ... so they
just should be handled by existing doom.yaml / doom2.yaml. Maybe it
would be simpler to rename doom.yaml to doom1.yaml and have "gdp doom"
try out to package all the versions at once. (also final doom)

Ok, I just didn't know one could do this in YAML
