Apply your initial patch to mainline.  The current yield_timeslice is pretty 
useless for the average Allegro programmer and we strive for ease-of-use.  
Moreover, there is a precedent with BeOS, QNX and MacOS X.

Then update allegro._tx and document the change in api_.tx.

(I'll not reconsider this position until after the next WIP is out, so go 
ahead whatever happens, barring of course a veto by another maintainer).

Thanks.
