Mostly to be able to build out of the box for more or less POSIX systems
that are not "supported", I think. It would be a tall order for Allegro
to be able to do that anyway :)

But I'm missing something here: Allegro's not using automake already ?
Is it using autoconf only maybe ? The configure script does mention
it's been generated by autoconf.

Same here. Apart from the "slow" argument, which I've not seen,
but then I haven't tried to use it for my own stuff.

That said, I have nothing against the move.
