It wouldn't be, it's a library file generated by the compiler. What is
in CVS is source code.
Judging by the name it's the allegro library, which suggests that you
haven't compiled allegro (from the lib-src directory) before trying to
compile audacity.

(Can someone from the windows development team please explain why
audacity.vcproj is so out of date? I though the changes to integrate
portsmf in place of allegro had been done months ago, and
lib-src/allegro was now going to disappear).

Look at the FFmpeg integration that was done as part of GSoC:

If all you want to do is convert files, then use FFmpeg directly, rather
than messing around with an editing solution like Audacity.
