hi,

i like allegro very much, thx a lot to all you guys (and gals?) working on 
allegro. after using it with djgpp, i wanted to use it together with 
mingw32 for win32 developing, as well. i read "readme.mgw", gathered all 
the stuff and tried to install it like it was described in the document. i 
discovered some problems, tho. maybe you want to change some stuff in 
"readme.mgw" and "makefile.mgw" for the next release. (i was using win NT 
4.0 build 1381 Service Pack 5):

- "makefile.mgw" didn't worked for me. it said "Your SYSTEMROOT or windir 
environment variable is not set!". i had to change "$(SYSTEMROOT)" to 
"$(windir)" in "makefile.mgw" to make it work.

- there occured some problems during the building of allegro. that was no 
real bug, tho. the problem was that both "dx7libhdr.exe" and "dxlibs.zip" 
unziped in a "dx7" subfolder. i didn't realized this, so i had no idea what 
was wrong. maybe a small comment would make sense.

- i may be dumb, but i didn't find either "gcc_2952_msvcrt.exe" or 
"mingw32_docs_html.exe" at http://www.mingw.org , i had to search both
files with http://www.ftpsearch.de.

ok that's it, keep up the good work
