hmmm, yup

yup. i believe text_mode now returns the previous mode. this should help.

huh ? cpp will take care of that. do you mean syntax hilighting and this
kind of things ?

it might be possible to do some macro magic in winalleg.h.
not sure how though.

i'm not sure if this is good programming practice anyway, since any failure
won't be reported, since you can't even try/catch with this kind of
objects. you'll have to implement some kind of error query, so you might
as well call an init function there.
if you really need it, you can call allegro_init if it was not done
before (just have a global flag). ugly, but it should work.

name clashes ?
i know mfc is really annoying, and even more when used with atl. i've
tried it. i managed to get the two working together by hacking a bit in
the macros msvc put in my code. the same might apply here.
