This is a good idea. Thanks.

Patches (generated by diff -up) are highly preferred over plain files 
because:
(1) the reviewer must generate a diff anyway to do its work,
(2) you're very likely to botch the original file when working on it; seeing 
the differences allows you to correct the mistakes,
(3) you may use an editor that destroys Allegro's original formatting

In this particular case, (3) happened.

I've commited the attached patch on mainline.
