Just pure, unadulterated demon-slaying action powered by the glory of Go's cross-compilation. The original C code was converted to Go using (modernc.org/ccgo/v4), by cznic (https://gitlab.com/cznic/doomgeneric.git).

This results in the Go code assuming these are exported values, when really they're ...
