I think they switched from NeXT to an Alpha running OSF/1.  They built
an alpha->dos cross compiler with djgpp, and cross-built quake.
Shortly thereafter, they were considering an alpha->next cross
compiler as well, but that's a standard gnu trick.

I believe they used the NeXTs for map/art design.
