I thought that findfirst/findnext is available only on DOS and Allegro
itself uses _al_findfirst/_al_findnext without propagating them as
findfirst/findnext. I was confused by the fact that it's not stated in WIP
3.9.32 docs (it was introduced (without describing of FA_* flags) in WIP
3.9.33) which are the last one I have installed (make install after each
CVS update is little bit time consuming). Damn.

Have a nice day.

P.S.: When looking on header files I found that include/aintmac.h has
external definitions of many of internal functions. It could possibly
#include "aintern.h" as aintlnx.h does (to be consistent).
