I think the most sane approach would be to port FTEQW (given that it is 
a Quake/QuakeWorld engine and we already got qk1 and qk2 (thanks to qwx) 
this may be quite feasible) and then port FreeHL:

https://github.com/eukara/freehl

That is on a quick glance: port FTEQW (probably most work), then port 
Nuclide SDK (https://github.com/VeraVisions/nuclide/) (should be less 
work) and get FreeHL, FreeCS and more almost for free (mostly writing 
beautiful mkfiles).

Seems saner than xash3d (and also legal ; especially compared to leak 
suggestion)
