* case insensitive command line arguments
* -help -game lists available games
* print available games on wrong -game and -format args
* -saturation light switch, default = 1, affects lightmaps and vertex color; > 1 = saturate, 0 = grayscale, < 0 = complementary colors

* q3map_fogDir: pick best matching side, not strict match only; ignore invisible 'bevel' sides
* -fs_basegame gamename: Overrides default game directory name (e.g. Q3A uses 'baseq3', OpenArena 'baseoa', so -game quake3 -fs_basegame baseoa for OA)
* new: bsp export/import in json format; Usage: q3map2 -json <-unpack|-pack> [-v] <mapname>
* synchronize -help, html help and actually available command line arguments

* patchMeta: fix: keep playerclip patches for collisions
* autocaulk: do not impact fog brushes with all faces culled (global fog case)
* skylight extension: q3map_skylight amount iterations optional[horizon_min horizon_max sample_color]
	horizon_min horizon_max: two spherical angles, defining portion of sphere to emit light from.
	Default is 0 90, which is upper hemisphere. -90 90 will be whole sphere.
	sample_color: Default = 1: sample color of each individual light from skybox images, if they are present.
	0: use shader color, set by q3map_lightRGB/q3map_lightImage/_up skybox image/qer_editorImage.
