There is a way to get a list of cvars from the server using the query interface. I don't remember how it works, and i'm at work so I cant get an example now. But if you get it working, you may notice that linux servers (I don't know if windows ones do it now also) seem to have the packet contents bzip'd before its sent down the tubes.
