[AD] Accessing X internals

[George Foot <george.foot@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I made a patch about a week ago in order to access the internals
of the X system -- in particular I needed a few things from the
_xwin variable, and to intercept the window creation calls.
Does anyone have any comments on the patch?  Can it be included?
I've only put in exactly what I needed; for more general use
other things might be wanted, and I don't know whether Michael
already has some idea how he wants to handle this sort of thing.
We're also not installing platform-specific headers in the Unix
makefile; not a problem usually since `linalleg.h' is pretty
useless and until this patch `xalleg.h' doesn't exist.  If we do
incorporate this patch, we can add the installation code too.

The patch attached is the same as the patch I posted to another
list last week, but updated for Allegro 3.9.29.

George
