The preprocessor trickery with renaming main in some cases, can be avoided.
I've looked a bit closer at the actual code now. I can rewrite it in such a
way that the main entry point function is put in a header file, and it calls
al_main() in the user program, no problem. This way you avoid END_OF_MAIN
and you get a linker error: 'undefined reference to al_main' if you forget
it. On the positive side you get a cleaner implementation, but the downside
would be code in the header files.
Peter, is this ok, or not worth the bother?
