There are three bugs here. Simon is correct that there are shell quoting
problems that you have hit since your folder is "Hexen II". I'm surprised
I didn't hit them myself. Additionally, I don't think we necessarily offer
the clearest advice if you have an older, unpatched version of H2: we
should at least point at how to upgrade your version (or obtain a
patched version) if not walk through the patching itself within gdp.

Finally, praevus is not yet supported, that should be pretty easy to
add, I was not aware of hexenworld's pak4 and indeed we should manage
that too.
