Sure, this would be a better solution. But in this case, I think it's "cvar_set ()"
which should handle the cvar creation, not "cvar ()".

Well, nothing for now :o) The command is present in the engine, but is unused by the
original game code from Id. Maybe it was useful in some beta version and they never
completely remove it afterwards. But the fact is that this command is no more
transmitted to the server, neither in NQ, nor in QW. Re-enabling it would be a good
thing for mods ('using' is a common thing in several mods, and anyway one more button
is always useful).
I reattach my patch to this mail. I hope the line numbers are still valid.
