you know what would be great? if someone would take responsibilty for
makeing windows binarys of the releases!
Would be fantastic if we could have something to offer the windows users,
an updated q2 binary would definantly please windows users, except for the
binary incompability with the old mods...

anyway, would be fantastic!

I don't understand this at all. The icculus build was surely the port _FROM_
Windows to *nix to get it to run on OpenGL et al (and bloody great job it is
too... icculus was one factor I moved to Linux 100% 11 months ago)

Why port it back? There are far superior quake2 projects for Windows users
already ( http://www.r1ch.net/stuff/r1q2/ ).

I think quake2 icculus should just concentrate on the *nix port.

I'm not against maintaining icculus q2 for windows, but I agree with
nick that there are probably better versions out there for windows, and
the primary point of icculus q2 is un*x. I'm certainly not going to do
it (I don't have a windows box for starters...) But if someone wants
to send me patches and installers, I have no problem putting them on
the site...
