It is, but not impossible. In all cases something that did some guestimates would be nice. SO e.g. even in the single-WAD case, if you pass a directory, is it $dir/doom2.wad, $dir/DOOM2.WAD, $dir/foo/DOOM2.WAD (for foo being whatever the dir is on the commercial CD-ROMs, I'm not sure) or even $dir/SteamApps/.../doom2.wad (for the case where the user is pointing g-d-p at a mounted windows partition containing steam with the games installed) > And strife, which vavoom supports.
