I don't have 64bit Windows so I asked Marcus whether it's possible
to test the ioq3 installers with Wine instead. 64bit Wine is in an
early stage of development and far from complete though. So instead
of testing ioq3 with Wine it's now the other way around.

Both :-) OP_BLOCK_COPY doesn't take care of stack alignment when
calling memcpy. The current 'fix' is likely insufficient though.
OTOH Wine's memcpy is probably buggy too as it calls glibc memcpy
which could be problematic e.g. due to different calling conventions
wrt saving xmm registers.
