I can't imagine Quake would even compile, much less run using one of the
lesser compilers. I was reading about one of the NES or SNES emulators
which was being developed with Visual C++. At some point in time, they
simply switched to compiling with DJGPP and got something like a
10-20% speed increase. Poetic, isn't it?
