Having written the TEA makefile, I would say that (at least
on a few platforms) it is pretty well tested. The README
explicitly says which makefiles are for which purposes,
but I would agree that there is still some confusion.
Since Mo is only asking to remove the TEA makefile from the
source code distribution only (and only until 1.3 is released),
I don't have any objections.
For 1.3, we should only use the TEA makefile for Unix.
On Windows, the TEA makefile will work fine, but I'm
afraid we will still need a makefile for VC++ and maybe
Borland.
