[Openal] Status of OpenAL 1.1 on OS X

[David Guthrie]

I attempted to build freealut on OS X.  It wouldn't build because the  
old version of alut is still compiled into the OpenAL framework.   
Essentially that means that I get duplicate symbols and it fails to  
link.  I ended up doing the same thing as Paul except that I changed  
the alut.h header to include OpenAL/al.h instead of copying another  
al.h.  Either way, it's a problem that I don't know how to fix.
