[sldev] Re: Missing OpenAL Library files after trunk update.

[Tofu Linden]

Thanks for trying this.
This outcome does not seem terribly surprising - we only
have a pre-made OpenAL package for Linux builds, since
we use OpenAL only for official Linux builds - OpenAL on
OSX/Win32 isn't something we deploy ourselves so builders
are expected to have their own AL libs/headers on those
platforms.  It's also not been particularly tested yet on
Win32/OSX either for similar reasons - any patches to make
the tri-platform build smoother would be welcome!
