 Reduce the size of GoldSrc (Half-Life, Counter-Strike 1.6, etc) .BSP files by eliminating embedded textures that already exist in .WAD files.

 ## Overview
 A `.WAD` file is a collection of textures, used by games based on the Quake engine.  GoldSrc uses version 3 of the .WAD file to store and organize textures.  Half-Life ships with a handful of .WAD files, while mods (Counter-Strike) or expansions (Opposing Force) include additional packs for their content.  Map authors may also distribute a .WAD file to provide custom textures for their map.
