I'm curious about Allegro's portability, versus SDL's. I write an SDL game
for Linux, and _eventually_, it lands on some OS I've never even heard of...
which is awesome. SDL's light weight probably attributes to its portability.
Is Allegro as portable? (I'm talking: QNX, MorphOS, PlayStation Portable,
Nintendo DS, GP2X, Maemo, Zaurus, Dreamcast, et cetera)
