Here is the patch, tested under DJGPP 2.3, MinGW32 and MSVC 6. By the
way, I was thinking about modifying some of the demo source, taking
the "an-explosion-killed-me" feature out, shrinking it a bit, plus
maybe adding circular and sinuidal movement. Suggestions?

And just to prevent spamming the list, how about putting all makefiles
into allegro/mkfiles?

I still think Allegro should have its own portable allegro_seed() and
allegro_random() functions...
