"Easy" is a small methaphor. ;-)

On my system (Win 98) the process of compilation stops after considering 
only the first subdirectory in the "for" statenment subdirectories list. 
This is, probably, the old DOS bug. The compilation break does not allow 
all the drivers to be compiled, and, then, during linking process some 
gedalregister.... routines could not be found. The call statenment 
corrects this problem (at least for me). In essece for some systems 
there could be no change (as for You).

Consider this as increase of reliability.
