`npc_houndeye.cpp`

This entity is not in the FGD by default.
It should not be put directly in a map because it is not hooked up to the associated C++ class.

npc_houndeye is a cut point entity available in Half-Life 2. While no LINK_ENTITY_TO_CLASS() exists for the entity, the CNPC_Houndeye class still exists in the publicly released Source SDK, largely unaltered from its Half-Life: Source counterpart.

Todo: In addition to providing the model from

Half-Life: Source, some minor code modifications are necessary to get the houndeye working correctly in

Half-Life 2. Document these.
