1. Get Allegro 3.9.33 tarball from
     http://alleg.sourceforge.net/allegro/wip.html
2. Read the Readme and build it.
3. Build your game and get surprisingly fewer errors than you thought.
4. Get it to compile.
5. Get it to run.
6. Get it stable.
7. Get it stable on other distros, other CPU architectures,
   other supported Unices (see readme.uni), etc.
8. Release your game as free software on sourceforge.net
9. Post a notice at the Depot:
     http://www.allegro.cc/
