This was a makefile that *came with the examples*, not one he made
himself... it's not good for someone to distribute a package with a bogus
makefile. If Shawn shipped a bad makefile in Allegro 3.2 for example,
there'd be a million pissed off programmers who happen to have no makefile
experience spamming up the Allegro list and this one with complaints :-)
