So can we get rid of all the ugly preprocessor magic like for example:

#if (defined ALLEGRO_MINGW32) || (defined ALLEGRO_MSVC) || (defined ALLEGRO_BCC32)
   #ifndef ALLEGRO_STATICLINK
      #ifdef A5_TTF_SRC
         #define _A5_TTF_DLL __declspec(dllexport)
      #else
         #define _A5_TTF_DLL __declspec(dllimport)
      #endif
   #else
      #define _A5_TTF_DLL
   #endif
#endif

Last time I was wondering about it someone explained that this will
always be needed, as the functions are actually named differently if
they are in th DLL.
