At least on Allegro CL >= 6.2 on Linux, the
redefinition of REQUIRE can get us into problems in
connection with Allegro's autoloading of COMMON-WINDOWS.

So I made it get turned off on allegro. I'm attaching
a patch.

Cheers!

    I just got an email from the Allegro folks saying the following:

    Just fyi, Allegro's ability to
    autoload modules (including external-format definitions)
    from files.bu
    does depend on Allegro's definition of require which knows
    how to look
    into the bundle.

    So we should probably make *dont-redefine-require* be T for
    **any** version of Allegro.

    I bumped the priority on this one pretty high, since it can
    be fatal to the functioning of Allegro in ways that are odd
    and difficult to debug.
