In my mind, the early feature-freeze doesn't (necessarily) apply to external
programs and utilities because it's high-level code. So I would say you have
time.

Is a third gfx_card* variable really needed ? I think it's nearly implicit
that gfx_card points to a fullscreen driver, given that gfx_cardw always
points to a windowed driver.
The gfx_cardw variable was really needed because you may want to change the
order of windowed drivers without seeing all your Allegro programs starting
in windowed mode. Now if you want to change the order of fullscreen drivers,
you simply set the gfx_card variable and this choice won't affect programs
that want a windowed driver.
Others may have another point of view though...
