I'm not sure that this helps with platform independence, which I think is
the main reason we need to change main to WinMain on Windows.
(Or turn WinMain into main, depending on your point of view).
I certainly won't be happy if a lot of Allegro programs suddenly start
using WinMains.
This reminds me, I had some reasonable succes using Allegro (with the GDI
driver) with winelib to compile a Windows program that had a custom
WinMain a while back. I'll see if I can dig up what it took me to get that
working, as it may be worth a footnote in the docs somewhere.
