You are reading cleaned up source code that only compiles and runs on Linux. That's why it looks nice.

  Many thanks to Bernd Kreimeier for taking the time to clean up the
  project and make sure that it actually works.  Projects tends to rot if
  you leave it alone for a few years, and it takes effort for someone to
  deal with it again.

I didnt have interrnet at the time so I didn't check github 20 years ago ;-)

On the more serous side, i wanted to say something about the TODOs as example of the balance, but couldnt find any. I thought i was confusing with quake, but the cleanup might explain it better.
