I'd better explain that I'm binding Allegro to a Scheme compiler.
So it's not what you might be thinking, and it's not evil ;-)

Yes, this is better than my idea.

Javier's suggestion about passing NULL for `atexit_ptr' to
`install_allegro' is good, but not backwards compatible.  If
`atexit_ptr' is NULL `install_allegro' uses `atexit' by default
(although this is not documented).

But, of course, you can just pass a dummy `atexit' function.
Problem solved :-)
