I think --enable-pentiumproopts and --enable-exclusiveopts would be more
consistent.

Moreover, I think you could enable non-exclusive Pentium optimizations by
default on x86 processors (allegro_cv_support_asm=i386 is probably the right
test) if no optimizations are specified, like on the DOS/Windows side.

Otherwise looks good :-)

./configure --help is sufficient I think.
