Everyone can use Watcom with standard __cdecl calling conventions by 
passing proper command line options to it. Probably the first step for 
Juras would be to try compiling Allegro for Watcom with stack based 
calling conventions.

PS. I had some experience with Watcom compiler in the past. Right, it 
compiles the sources rather fast and its optimizer *was* producing fast 
binaries (nowadays both MSVC and GCC optimize better than Watcom). What 
is the most disappointing, Watcom is also one of the most buggy 
compilers I ever worked with.
