[AD] Patches for building Allegro as non-root user

[George Foot <george.foot@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Here are two patches, both of which I posted on the Allegro list
a few days ago, to make Allegro more easily buildable as a
normal user.  Use "--prefix=~" or something similar.  You will
need to set up various environment variables to get your
programs to build and run.

The second patch also makes the `uninstall' target not delete
the shared libraries, since they might be required by
already-compiled programs.  Maybe there's a need for another
target to also delete the shared libraries, I don't know -- the
reason I wanted to change this is that without this change, if
you upgrade by doing a `make uninstall' followed by a `make
install' in a newer Allegro tree, all programs linked to the old
version will no longer work.

George
