They wouldn't be required to use al_main. As I said in the reply, to 
disable this behavior, all you have to do is not create an al_main 
function. That way, al_main will never be replaced with the define that 
creates main/WinMain (because it doesn't exist).

Basically, the user would code this:

int al_main(...)
{
}

The C-preprocessor will get the 'al_main' define and turn it into this:

int al_main(...);

int main()
{
   allegro_init();
   return al_main();
}

int al_main(...)
{
}

Now, if the user doesn't want auto-main-handling, he'd simply not create 
al_main and the define will never be expanded to make the main/WinMain 
function.
