It's not so nice, but we have an existing solution: use
`install_allegro' with a dummy function for `atexit'. We could do as
Javier suggests, i.e. change how `install_allegro' interprets NULL for
atexit parameter. (At the time I thought we were in a deeper freeze
than we actually are, so I rejected it.)
