i wasn't talking about just beos. the rsxntdj, watcom and the borland build
is currently unmaintained and unless they are fixed up before allegro 4.0
they should be removed from the actual release. there's a big chance that
rsxntdj and borland will still be there as both compilers are freely
available. the thing is with beos that it looks like it will slowly
disappear, and beos users are few.

i have to agree. i guess beos will still be around for some more time. i had
more in mind separating out the mac port since large parts of it is not
finished. perhaps in a few years when beos and dos are extinct the same will
happen to those ports? or is that flame-bait? LOL.
