Yes, we should at least do that. Because, as Keith W. reminded me:

That's right, Quake2 expects different enum values than what the original
GL_SGIS_multitexture spec specifies. Ugh.

If Quake2 is the only real concern I think that people could either
(1) upgrade to Quake3, (2) keep using Mesa 3.0 with Q1, or (3) play
without multitexture.
