Additional information
The stable release for the original one was released in 2016 and contains a major mouse movement issue, however the one from SVN has that problem fixed. In both of these releases i've had to compile without DUMB so it can be compiled successfully.
The cleaned up version uses CMake and succesfully compiled for me without any issues at all, even with DUMB enabled. I dare to say that the cleaned up version seem to be the best choice for that matter.
Now why include PrBoom Plus despite GZDoom being included? For the record GZDoom has some performance issues in some mods such as Ancient Aliens (Episode 1's level with UFOs for example in MAP08 i believe) and Holy Hell Revealed itself, whereas this source port has no performance issues in these mods, actual demo file support with multiple compatibility profiles (including original Doom demo support)
