On a related issue (related to CPU specific optimizations, not color
convertors), I think it would be nice to be able to compile Allegro
specifically for a certain type of processor. Right now, it can be built
specifically for a Pentium, but I'd like to have things like a k6 specific
build as well.
For gcc, this would be a minor change to the makefiles. I'd be willing to
do that, but probably not before the next WIP is out.
