Allegro 5.1.8 compilation with mingw/gcc 4.8.1

Hi.

I was recently trying to update my whole development system and I made the switch to allegro 5.

I have to mention it somewhere. Building it with all the dependencies is a pain. Let's hope it's gold now it's done.

I also encountered 2 main problems:

-freetype didn't want to compile. An old post by Trent gave me the answer: no more -ansi for freetype. (http://sourceforge.net/p/mingw/bugs/2024/#ac8f)

-sal.h isn't part of MinGW. It's a part of VisualC. I used the one here http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/invisible/include/sal.h.htm and put it in mingw/include

Now let's see how the whole examples are working ^^
