I had presumed that was already the case. :/

Attached is a proposed patch that avoids using Make's wildcard function;
instead using helper scripts to create the directories.

I've tested installing Allegro under Windows XP using Standard CLI/MinGW and
MSYS/MinGW. I've tested the batch script by itself under Windows 98 SE and
FreeDOS. I'm a complete UNIX shell scripting newbie, so it would be nice if
someone could have a look at mdhelper.sh. Also, more testing is needed, of
course.
