[Allegropro-dev] Current status and progress reports

[Korval <Ko...@co...>]

For the past few weeks, I've been kinda busy with other tasks. However, now
I'm back in a coding-after-work mood, so I'm back.

Right now, I'm working on some basic utility "classes": points, sizes, and
rectangles. Having these in place makes things quite a bit easier.

After that, I'm going to start bringing in Allegro 4 itself. That is,
AllegroPro's init function will initialize Allegro 4. I think the
requirement will be to use some reasonably useful version of the "unstable"
branch, but I'm not entirely positive. The version I have is 4.1.9, but I'm
willing to update it as needed. This is a necessary first step towards
getting the graphics system up and running.

After that, I think I'm going to go through our API headers and start using
Doxygen comments to get our documentation building going. Doxygen doesn't
produce the best documentation, in terms of readability, but I've never
found a better program for generating documentation from comments in files.
And, of course, it's open source, so we can modify the output of it (though
it probably won't be easy).

Now, for the other stuff. How is the MingW port coming along, Ron? While I
did integrate your changes over, I pointed out a number of other places
where you needed to make changes (like having MingW-specific versions of all
the *comp.h and *comp.c files). How's that all coming?
