The program can also ignore the ESC keypress, but when the user tries to 
close the window, nothing will happen (unless you hooked the event).
The choice of simulating an ESC keypress is more a comfort than anything 
else: normally ESC has special behaviours, like terminating a program or 
bringing up a menu... So it seems like the best default action to simulate it 
when the user clicks on the window close button, as this fits perfectly in 
the way Allegro test programs/examples currently works: almost all them end 
when ESC is pressed, so with this patch applied when the user closes the 
window, the program will actually quit.
If you think simulating a keypress when the user closes the window is bad, we 
could make that selectable: what about modifying set_window_close_hook to 
something like

set_window_close_hook(int keypress, void (*proc)())

Where "keypress" is the keypress to simulate (in the format of readkey()), 0 
for none?
