With some persuadink, comrade, it not needink to be exception!
Please to be repeatink after me:
Return value of `desktop_color_depth' is meaninkful, not error
code. Not needink to follow zero/negative convention..
Allegro beink very consistent.. very consistent..
Convinced, da? If anyone askink, can be persuadink them. If
askink why Allegro not returnink DA and NYET for booleans, be
smackink on the head and tellink not to be askink questions.
P.S. behaviour of get_desktop_resolution() beink changed in CVS.
