Building from clean on Allegro Windows

[Robert Goldman]

I just re-tested this on Mac, Linux and Windows, and everything I tried 
passed.  So I think we are good to release. I'll have another look at 
updating the Changelog.

If anyone out there knows the right tooling for doing that, I'd 
appreciate a pointer!  I have been using the ChangeLog mode for emacs, 
and some settings seem to disagree with what the Debian format would 
like....

Best,
r
