[SDL] SDL vs Allegro

[Ismael Moreno]

Allegro has AllegroGL, another GLContext like SDL-GL.

According to the original question, i don't see important differences
between both libraries. It's just a matter of taste. Some people think
Allegro is easier and better for newbies, but i don't think so, SDL is not
really difficult.  And about perfomance, it depends on hardware.  If you are
worried about tiny perfomance differences it would be better to make a test
by yourself.
