If you build the DLL, it may not be fully compatible with other Allegro 
programs. This is a non-issue with the WIPs (since just about all 
executables ship with the DLL), but may become a problem when Allegro 4.0 is 
released.

The SSE code is backed up by the regular assembly code anyway, so if you 
don't have SSE, then masked_blit() will use the old code.
