Commenting on that only, not on Johan's suggestion:

writing a makefile is easy for simple projects, if you know how to do it.
writing a simple allegro program is easy, but there are still examples
in allegro/examples. When you need other libraries or other targets,
chances are that you are knowledgeable enough to build your own makefile.
i don't think Johan intended his makefile to be a 'one size fits all'
one, just a starter for people who don't know makefiles and who write
small projects.
in any case, even if it's not put in the lib, i think it could be done as
an add-on.
