Ok, I only hinted at it (in "Why multiple windows might suck").  It
would be a function that creates a BITMAP, but does not allocate space
for the actual image data.  Rather it receives a pointer from the user
and initalises line[].

   BITMAP *create_shared_bitmap(int depth, int width, int height,
                                int stride, void *data);

`stride' is there in case there are wierd padding requirements.  Depth
can obviously only be what Allegro supports.  Maybe more parameters
will be required.

Ok, we'll see.
