Oh I could certainly just change src/allegro.c so that it said
"RAM:allegro.log" rather than just "allegro.log" but then that is an Amiga
specific change that is only on my hard drive. Ultimately the source will
go into Subversion so the change should apply to anyone who gets the source
and builds it, hence the need for a macro such as #define ALLEGRO_LOG_FILE
"RAM:allegro.log" that is used. Or am I misunderstanding you?
