Description Tony J. White 2006-04-12 10:42:57 EDT 
The backspace key on Mac keyboards is called "delete".  Pressing it throws a unicode key which is effectively ignored for the purposes of deleting text behind the cursor.  This patch translates a unicode SDLK_BACKSPACE to the ctrl-h character like backspace on PC platforms.

Setting a QA contact on all ioquake3 bugs, even resolved ones. Sorry if you get a flood of email from this, it should only happen once. Apologies for the incovenience.
