When people want to customise their game they may prefer to have
gamename.cfg rather than allegro.cfg and gamename.cfg. Plus the
latter is both confusing to users and game code. Oh, and the log
message says it fixes a crash too. I would say the only "bug"
here is Allegro writting an empty configuration file on exit. I
guess it should not be created if no config variables change.
