i belevide the reason the object file is so small is that all code is mmx
and obviously watcom doesn't support that so the code is removed by the
preprocessor. iscanmmx.s only contains mmx optimized versions of polygon
scanline helpers found in iscan.s, so you could link that file and still
expect the assembler drawing stuff to work. anyways... it's an error to
compile in mmx code if ALLEGRO_MMX is not defined so by a first look i think
i have to do a #ifdef ALLEGRO_MMX around the declarations in aintern.h to
avoid potential linker probelems.

garbage.
i don't think anyone would like to do that insanely big conversion job by
hand, not to mention the gains are minimal.
