That's great. Now we can send anyone who is too lazy to make a proper
patch there :)

Well, it doesn't apply easily:

--- /tmp/alwatcom.h.Ct9jmu      Mon Apr  4 16:18:52 2005
+++ /tmp/alwatcom.h.2Keevx      Mon Apr  4 16:18:52 2005

I have to manually specify the file to which I want it applied. Better
than nothing though. But ideally, it would say something like:

--- include/allegro/platform/alwatcom.h 1 Feb 2005 13:12:05 -0000       1.6
+++ include/allegro/platform/alwatcom.h 4 Apr 2005 21:34:24 -0000

In that case, I can apply it without having to type in anything.
