Generally, I'd say to just not call that function before allegro_init (like almost every other Allegro function). However, I just realized that ther is one variable that install_allegro uses, the system= var for X or Console.

Are there any more besides that allegro_init needs? Perhaps there's another, cleaner, way to handle this since it's not really a config "option" in the strictest sense of the word.. but just a way to tell Allegro what the environment is.
