Present for a long time.

Yep.

I suppose you meant 'ar' instead of 'make'.

Of course it has. It is actually already used in configure.in via the
$allegro_system variable.

For some reason, I split the Darwin specific bits between aclocal.m4 and
configure.in; retrospectively, that was a mistake. Remove the 'ar' test from
aclocal.m4 and put all the Darwin tweaks in only one place in configure.in .
