A version of make comes with dmd.  Only for windows, it seems.  One 
solution might be to support that, in addition to gnu make for linux. 
Not sure how easy that would be, but maybe it would work if the makefile 
for dallegro is kept relatively simple.

This would make it easy for people to just download dallegro and a 
precompiled allegro DLL.  But a build system is only needed for 
compiling the examples, test, and the demo game.  dallegro itself is 
only compiled as a part of the user's application, not as a library.  So 
we might not even need an easy way to build anything related to dallegro.
