On the Allegro side, the best is to look at existing platforms, I'd
suggest especially the OSX port since it is the cleanest written in my
opinion. I wanted to write up some information on
http://awiki.strangesoft.net some time ago - but nothing much went of it
so far, just someone filled in this:
http://awiki.strangesoft.net/bin/view/Main/AllegroDev#Adding_a_new_platform
Feel free to describe your experience on the wiki though in case you
make progress with this :)
Also, I think it would be a good idea getting the new_api_branch (or
wait until it gets cvs head, hopefully during this month). It has some
base changes, like (finally) a proper events system. And Evert also
started on a prototype for the new gfx API AFAIK. In principle, it
shouldn't matter much though, I'm not sure how much the actual driver
vtables are affected.

Yes. It's also normals for mails to just get lost. But then, it's hard
to find a better free ML server than SF (e.g. allegro.cc would have too
much downtime as well from what I see), and even harder to move the ML
away from SF at this point.. so let's just hope SF can fix their
problems.
