+   Alternatively, if your shell is sh-like, you can get the environment
+   changes from allegro-config, by typing at a shell prompt:
+
+	`allegro-config --env`
+
+   You can add that single command to your .bash_profile instead of all
+   of the above commands.  Note that `allegro-config' itself is in the
+   `bin' directory of the installation, so either make sure that is in
+   your path before running `allegro-config' or specify the path 
+   exactly, for example:
+
+	`~/bin/allegro-config --env`
