Yes, just like it was automatically excluding dumb support.

Yes!

Sounds good.

Agreed lets drop it.

You could take a shot at it, but creating sub packages for example code often
is a pain (because example programs tend to not be made to get installed into
an FHS location, so they end up not being able to find their data files, etc.).
Not worth the effort IMHO.

Talking about "example" programs, are there any tools with allegro5 which we
maybe should package (Like the allegro4 grabber program) ?

Ok, I'll do another review pass once you've posted your new version.
