Done. I've uploaded to the SourceForge server:
- all401b1.zip
- all401b1_diff.zip
- allegro-4.0.1-beta1.tar.gz

While pre-testing the release, I found strange things:

- exscn3d displays artifacts (colored patterns) in a DOS box under Win95,
but not in pure DOS and not in every color depth: 8, 32 (VBE/AF driver), 8
(VGA, VBE 1.x, VBE 2.0)

- 'make' seems to "forget" rules under certain circumstances if the makefile
is a bit complex:

VPATH = tests/win tests

tests/%.exe
    foo

tests/win/%.exe:
    bar

When tests/win/dibsound.exe is to be compiled, 'make' should pick the second
rule, so that the object file is obj/platform/alleg/dibsound.o; this worked
in the 4.0.0 release for makefile.bcc, but doesn't work any longer in the
4.0.1 release: the first rule is consistently (on my system) selected,
leading to obj/platform/alleg/win/dibsound.o, which gives an error. This
issue was already raised several times on [AL]. A workaround is to re-order
the rules, from particular to general ones.

- misc/fixdll.sh is checked out without 'x' (executable) permission from the
CVS repository under Linux, probably an unexpected side-effect of having
modified it under Windows. Does anyone know how to fix that ? (same thing
for misc/asmdef.sh)
