I guess a server mod would be the easiest way to change this, because
I don't think we ever got around to exposing projectiles correctly in
the API. On the other hand, we didn't have much time to begin with :-)

Maybe tweaking the kits (via template hacking) for this special mode
would work out ok? It would probably be safe to change them on the
server only, but I can't vouch for that.

Essentially if you replace all the C4 kit items with something else
(say grenades), things should work without client changes, because the
server decides what goes into each player's inventory. Maybe some late
change to the entity caching code might be sensitive to this, but I'd
definately give it a try.
