The second. IMHO, the grabber is a program that uses Allegro just as any
other. It just has the good fortune of being distributed with Allegro and
being maintained along side it, but that doesn't really give it the
privilige to claim it's own section in allegro.cfg ;-)
I also sortof like the way I have it working now, but that, I fear, is too
platform specific.
