Ah, ok. I'll remember that :)

He/she doesn't need to know about weak symbols. We can just tell them to
create an allegro_icon and be done with it. This could even be automated
with a ufixicon utility.

I guess it would be something like set_window_icon(BITMAP *icon) with magic
pink/index 0 being transparent as usual? That should work, although the
BITMAP would have to be converted to the platform's native icon format at
run time. Isn't this ?fixicon's job at the moment?
Anyway, I'll see about refining it somewhat tomorrow. :)
