I took your advice previously, but didn't do the check correctly. I forgot
to do a recursive check and the two games above depend on quake3 which
depends on autodownloader. I ran across the issue when trying out Urban
Terror and figured out what probably went wrong when I last looked and
then also found World of Padman had been missed.

I personally don't think having games which need downloadable content for
the games spin is a good idea. I don't think it is so bad that no exceptions
could be made. If the size of the needed content is small and the game
is particularly unique and good making an exception would be reasonable.
