Downloading it from a slow FTP server... I could live with that.
Faffing around learning how to install it and use it, just to fix this
one problem, seems silly to me, especially when the problem is a) not
my fault and b) won't be fixed by "make veryclean" anyways, since
lingering source files were overwritten and lingering .o files should
be rebuilt by make and besides lingering .o files could only cause
link errors -- never a compile error, and certainly not a parse error.

Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from
an Allegro-using C++ program compiled with gcc.
