   I don't have an Amiga emulator set up so I have no way of testing that   
   version. The others I can test.   
      
   I suspect either makefile.linux or makefile.bsd will work for the Amiga   
   version if GNU C is available for that platform.   
      
   CMake may also be an option if that's available for the Amiga (and actually   
   works).

   Makefiles can be rewritten easily. :) Most of the effort is in the source code   
   itself, and I doubt any of your improvements were removed. At first glance I   
   don't see any Amiga-specific code in there though.
