Features
- Much of the code is now shared between client and server. It is much more manageable and less desync prone
- Platforms are now much better optimized
- Co_boomlinecheck- Off by default, allows additional silent BFG tricks and the "oomph" sound on two-sided lines.

- Added UPnP. Automatically opens up the port on a UPnP compliant router. Toggled on server start with sv_upnp
- Added -fork to control the PIDfile of a server. Defaults to doomsv.pid.

- Clients could be kicked with "szp pointer was NULL," randomly in games with many players.
- The CTF HUD display broke in 0.5.1. Fixed.
- Projectile sounds (Player and Monster) would play multiple times online. Fixed.
- Fixed the wrong light levels on some orthogonal linedefs.
- The marine death animation played too fast online. Fixed.
