Yeah it does, because the define that expands al_main can create any 
entry point function that does anything it needs. It can create WinMain 
in Windows, and main everywhere else. As well, for OSX it could create a 
main that starts a thread explicitly at al_main, leaving main to do the 
special input thread stuff.

I don't see why they would have to?
