I've always wondered why we don't just make the top-level
makefile (i.e. the one created by the fixup script) define the
corrent ALLEGRO_* variable for the platform, and then use this
instead of things which compilers do automatically.  Surely it
would make things simpler -- it certainly feels neater than
trying to undefine various compiler-defined macros.
